Just for Kiwi Elan owners
Posted: Thu Feb 06, 2014 5:10 am
For the Kiwi Elan owners here, what 155 tyres are you using ?
I'm having all sorts of hassle trying to find something that wasn't designed for Granny's around town shopping car.
The tyres I've found so far seem to be rock hard and designed to last as long as possible rather than give any decent level of grip.
This manifests itself in a very uncertain, squirrelly type of handling, even on a straight road.
I did have some BF Goodrich TAs which were fine, now of course they don't make them except in 165s.
Lots of the recommended tyres are only available offshore so this question is aimed at Kiwis who have actually purchased some tyres recently.
Cheers,
Ralph.
