I've been running 165R15's on my TR4 for the past five years. I like the old-school brands like Michelin, Dunlop Vredestein and Cooper. My car shipped new in '62 with optional Michelin X's. I bought

Well, that bumps my worries about Social Security down the list. :) I should call my congressperson and ask for a bill to protect the 165R15 tire size, perhaps called The Great American Skinny Tire H

Thanks for the leg work, Andy. Several listers have recommended Kumhos. Sounds like a good street and autocross tire for the stock size. For my TR4 I personally liked the retro look and tread pattern

No, because of the difficulty of installing a fan belt on some TR's because of the interference between the fan hub extension and the body cross piece. To install a new belt, you'll typically need to

Is there a wrong way to install a mechanical fuel pump on a TR4? Removal was removing two nuts and the fuel pipes, pulling it off, and scraping the gasket. Is installation the reverse of removal? See
