Tires for SA Sprintstars ?

[spillo491]

Hi, I have a set of og South African Sprintstars for my 62 pearl white ragtop

two 15x4.5 and two 15x5.5

In your opinion what brand and size of tires I could fit ?

Thank you

Michelin XZX 145 front & 165 rear, depending on what you want it to look like

Only 165 on rear ? I would have a cal-look stance ... so stock height on rear axle. I like this for example

XWX 185s for the rear then just like in the picture

I would run 155/80 R15 front, 185/80 R15 rear, I'm running this combo for a few years now without any trouble. Mine are vredestein sprintclassic, not as nice profile as Michelin, but also not so expensive and available with front/rear same profile.

Thank you guys, I think that 155/80 are a little too high ...

Put Michelin XZX in front and behind vredstein is not good in your opinion ?

The Michelin are so beautiful but they are too expensive

Do you want traditional cal look? 145, 165
"Modern" cal look? 145, 205/70
Cal look with better handling and braking? 175/65, 205/65

Not a rule by any means...

Interesting, some pictures of the traditional configuration 145/165 ?

The one on the left is fitted with Michelin XZX 155 SR 15

The two on the right are fitted with XZX 165 SR 15

and the two in between are fitted with XZX 145 SR 45

if that can help,

all wheels are 4,5s
