Hallo
The car is in the garage and the more time i spend looking at it, i´m sure that i won´t stay with the narrow rear body. I just like the look of the race cars ( original or non original).
Therefore i decided to look for tire options.
I would love to use some of the Vintage Dunlop CR 82 race tires, but my TÜV engineer will probably get a hardattack, if i ask him to approve this ( and i need him alive for all the other things
).
By looking for alternatives i found i difficult to compare different tires out of different lists in terms of DIAMETER, TREAD WIDTH, SECTION WITH and so on.
Finally i put the datas i found in a simple excel table. Most of the datas are from tiredealer sites. Where they where not available i calculated them. So no guarantee for the very last 1/10 inch.
The list helped me a lot. For now i decided to go with the PIRELLI 345/35-15 on 12 " wheels (i will have the very nice vintage wheels provided with the kit widen by 2") plus the +2" wide track suspension in the rear. Front will be a 225/50-15 Pirelli or Toyo ( whatever is available, Toyo has a wide range of them with different compounds, so that a fit to the rear should be managable). I hope to achieve a look like this:
The rear tire would be a little less high, but the difference is not to big ( 12mm, 0.5 inch in tire height, 1" in tire diameter)
Find onby the tirelist for your usage. Feel free to add tires and to correct datas if they are wrong. Please repost it than, so that all of us can have a quick overview about the possible options.
Thanks
