New Tire Difference
New Tire Difference
Just had 4 new tires installed on the Z today. I previously had Hankook Ventus V4s- 205/50/16, and up-sized slightly to Hankook Ventus V2s- 205/55/16 (essentially the same tread pattern and price). Amazing the difference in ride between 10 year old tires and new, and a smidge more sidewall (the diameter is almost 1" greater). To my eye the new tires also improve the stance and fitment.

1976 710 Wagon- L20B 4 cyl.

Re: New Tire Difference
Sounds good! I think the 205/55R16 is what I have on my Z too. Any pictures yet?Randalla wrote: ↑Wed Nov 13, 2019 2:45 pm Just had new tires installed on the Z today.

Re: New Tire Difference
Took these this morning. Now I can actually get the floor jack under the front air dam.
