Scott
I've got a set of ZR-1 reproductions that have a polished lip. I'm buying new wheels, but am keeping my Sumitomos. I'll post some pictures if you're interested. $500 plus shipping Jim |

Re: Ordering New Wheels & Tires and need some guidance
as David indicates the 315's are not available but 335's are and fit perfectly. I put the 335 alongside my 315 sumo's. They are slightly taller and about one half inch wider and much more flexible. My cousin who owns a tire factory store told me Michelin tires in general have the greatest sidewall flex as compared to other tire manufactures which transfers less shock through the suspension. If you use your car as a cruiser as I do for the most part, the smoother ride is great. As I read members in the registry I may be a minority, being not an overly agessive driver.

Re: Ordering New Wheels & Tires and need some guidance
Dave, I just want to say "Thank You!" for a tire review that I can have some faith in! I appreciate your time Brother!
 I have to look at the date codes on my D3's today, as I have rear tires that are a bit thin.....  ...they don't seem to last as long as the fronts!  Tom

Here's what that setup looks like with the PS2's and a stock ride height. No tire rub and I can turn lock to lock.

Re: Ordering New Wheels & Tires and need some guidance
Just got a pair of Toyo 345 40 17's today for Thumper. Can't wait to get them installed this week.
