I'm thinking about buying Yokohama A032R tires. I heard that they are noisy. Is it really bad???? My driving is with no top, stereo on and driving at 70 mph plus. Is the noise bad enough to overcome

I had these tyres on my roadster. I didn't think they were noisy at all, but then, I couldn't hear much over the Weber induction roar and exhaust noise on my car. The tyres stick like the proverbial

Try Falken Azenis. They are super sticky. They are used almost exclusively in the autocross street tire classes because they are much better than anything else. They are also relatively inexpensive a

I've been very pleased with the turn-in, and wet and dry stick of the Bridgestone Potenza RE71, though they are hard to find. - Bob Mann, '68 2000 Solex

I'm still undecided over the performance of the Azenis after my first two months of useage. I seem to steer with the rear tires more than usual, as they seem to want to break loose often. This might

Can't speak for the roadster, but I has a set of ES100s on my last BMW, good in the dry and wet, decent price, but the rears only went about 14,000 mi. (245-40x17), perhaps it was my driving. Jerry

My .02 is this, If you're going with a 6 inch wheel, the 185 will fit the wheel better. Also, although it may require bending up the lip on the rear fenders (it did on my car), You can run a zero off

Just to add to the confusion, I run 14x7 "minilite-look-alike" alloys with 205/60s at rear (no rubs) and 195/60, more recently, 195/55s at front (too much void above the wheels, but a comp spring wou

"Better" depends on what you're using them for. Actually, I've run both 185/60 and 195/60 on 14x6 rims and there really isn't a lot of difference. The 195's are a bit taller, therefore won't buzz the

If you can find the right wheel, the 195's fit just fine. "If" is the operable word here. I lucked out when Texas Chris sold me the A/R Vector wheels. Suddenly, everything fit. Even the fat 205/55/14
