Front tire thoughts...
Gregor/DFL:
I have good experiences in running 145s front and 165s on the back. I think a major issue is how the sizes differ. Running the "classic" sizes 205/70 in the back and 135s on the front is cool for the looks but bad for handling-that for shure is a combination for the 1/4 mile, inspired by Hot Rod looks. For the street IŽd always prefer a closer combination of size, maybe 155s on the front and 175s or 185s on the back. And: you always need good shocks to go fast on the street although running a "Looker".

I use 185's on the rear, as it says in the manual :)

135's and 205/70/15's on my erco's
i will go for the 145's on my empi's though.....

personally the only kind of tires i like on a cal-look car is 135- 145 with high diameter.
i found smart cars tires horrible.
we did a car with michelin zx 135 (on 4,5 steel wheels) on the front and goodyear 205-70-15 on therear. nose was down.
michelins are only tires i would use in this kind of size because they costs a lot but they are the only real qualitative tires.
f 560 s by firestone? they suck........
i drove the car all day in monza racetrack. even if car stance was not for track racing, the car was really balanced and never understeering.

I have been running 155s and 145s up front. They handle the same, but the 145 looks far better. Used both Michelin and Firestone F560. Both good tires, and both have a cool old looking tire pattern. How come you find the Firestone's suck Bullitt?
