new tires fitted
In Italy spring is arriving. I decided to celebrate it with a new set of tires for my '63 Giulia Spider. I bought Vredestein sprint classic, saying goodbye to the old set of Firestone (aged 20 years....).
Set of tires: 59x4=236 Euro (on-line purchased).
Air tubes: 15x4=60euro
Mounting and balancing work: 52Euro
Total=348Euro
Few km to test this morning, but the feeling/handling was good. Now I'm going to mount a new set of shock-absorbers. Some suggestions for make/model?
ciao

I have the 155s on my Spider and they are quiet, good in the wet and have predictable characteristics on the track.
Gordon Raymond might tune in on this thread as well and today's new tires for old cars have about 30% to 40% more traction than the best tires from the late 1960s.
However, the 155s seem just a little wider than the tires on my mountain bike.
My Sprint has the 165/80/15s --taller is needed because I ended up with a 4.56 diff rather than a 4.3.
They look good.
