VVers:
I am contemplating changing the tires on my '65 Monza Convertible. I
have a set that I bought from Kelly Springfield a few years ago but,
frankly, I have NEVER liked the performance. I LOVED the performance of
the original set that were on the car when I bought it...until the right
rear shredded at 65mph.
I just did a search on Tire Rack, WalMart, and a few direct manufacturer
searches and came up with the following hits for 185/80/13s:
* Kumho Touring A/S 795 ($34/each, wsw)
* Goodyear Marathon Radial ($56/each, black sidewall)
* Cooper Tire Trendsetter SE ($45/each, wsw)
* Douglas Xtra-Trac ($30/each, wsw)
My questions are:
* Is anyone currently running on any of these?
* By brand, what are people's opinions for use on a Corvair?
* Does anyone have enough experience with these to rank them?
* Are there any good choices that I missed?
Thanks in advance.
