T-Series TC /TD Rim Size

Re: TC /TD Rim Size

Not to hijack but what is a decent but inexpensive tire for the TD? Mu budget is quite low right now.

I plan on driving it sparingly and only in good weather. I know, I know - Why? I have many others and have to divy up my time between all of them and still go on family functions with the family in the SUV. This will be my nice Sunny day Sunday car.
 
Re: TC /TD Rim Size

I just bought new Kumho's for my TD - think they were less than $50 each.
 
Re: TC /TD Rim Size

$50 seems reasonable. What model number & size?
 
Re: TC /TD Rim Size

Kumho Power Star 758's - 165x80R15

...& I unzipped it out of its wintertime bubble just to get that info for you
 
Re: TC /TD Rim Size

Re: TC /TD Rim Size

Looked again, and they are shod with BF Goodrich Silvertown 5.50x16, definately not MG, must be Austin
 
Re: TC /TD Rim Size

I bought a set of Kumhos for my TD last month from "The Tire Rack" for $35 each plus shipping. These were tubeless radials. They arrived by UPS. I had to order them and wait a couple of weeks untill they got them in stock but I am happy with the whole transaction. You might check their web site.
 
Re: TC /TD Rim Size

16" wheels for TCs are very common because they are tremendously stronger and fit a wider tire for racing. You don't often see them for road use because they just aren't as pretty.
