[Shotimes] Tires - 235/55-16's

[Ron Porter]

"Preferably" H-rated? I wouldn't call H-rated "preferable", it's the lowest
rated tire to consider for the car. V and Z-rated are getting pretty
reasonable.

That said, I have run H-rated tires on my former '89, but it was on the lace
wheels that I used in the winter.

Staying with the OEM size is fine. Another possibility is the 215/55/16
size. Kind of an oddball size, but that's what I have on my car now on the
slicers. They are Firestone Firehawks that I bought off another SHOtimer,
and they have turned out to be decent tires. The lower sidewall does sharpen
response a bit.

I used this site and I think i'll stick with the OEM size - 215/60-16
Preferably H-rated this time.
