TR4/4A Tires! Sizes! Help!

[MintyFresh]

Hey Guys. I am going to replace the current tires on my TR4A and I am hoping you all can chime in with your thoughts/experiences/recommendations. I currently have Pirelli 185 70 SR15 tires. Calling around, it seems like that is a tough size to find. Do you have suggestions as to what would be the best size for this car?

Your wisdom is appreciated.

I should add that one of the TR6 owners in our little club put them on his car and said they were like like glue, the best he's ever had. Not surprising, they have a pretty low wear rating--220--indicating a very soft tread compound.

185/15 (known as a metric size, no aspect ratio) will be a slightly taller tire and may fill the wheel well better. I have Vred Sprint Classics on a couple of cars and really like them best of all the brands I've tried.

165/15 may be closer to the original tires for the 4A but if you are used to the wider tire you may not want them.

I have ordered several sets of tires from Tires-Easy and have always received them quickly and very fresh.

Thanks for this recommendation. I just ordered from the link! I really appreciate it.
