Can someone please point me to a thread discussing what choice of tires people like? I'm mounting some Hydras on my 1985 245 wagon. It looks like I've read lots of folks choose the 205/55/16 tire size.
That size seems fine for me - but darn if I can't select a manufacturer. Perhaps this will help - here is what I want:
I want it to look good on the car. I really like this look in the picture below. Actually - that is exactly what my car looks like (minus the Hydras). When I add my Hydras - that will be a duplicate of my car.
1 - it's not a performance car. Sure, I'd like it to handle nicely and not beat me up on the occasional road trips.
2- it needs to handle heat and hot roads. It gets over 100F in the summer here.
3- noise is important
4- tread wear is pretty important.
5- price is important.
I'm thinking Kumho, Yokohama or maybe Toyo? How about I say I'm looking for a tire that looks like these, that's a good, all around choice.
Thanks!
