This means that speedometer and odometer readings should not change, an important consideration.Īnother important consideration is how the car will be used. The 205/70 tire has an overall diameter of 26.3” so in comparison to the 185R15s the tire diameter is virtually unchanged from the original’s 26.6”. These are readily available and will fit the 5.5” rim original to the TR6. In addition, new 185R15s can cost upwards of $200.00 per tire- if you can find them!Ī popular replacement for the 185R15 is a 205/70R15 size tire. Being so tall and narrow these tires offer little as a performance tire. They look very good on the TR6 and provide a smooth, compliant ride.
MICHELIN X REDLINE TIRES SERIES
These are 70 or 80 series profile tires, which is to say that the sidewalls are roughly 80% as high as the tire is wide. Originally all US-bound TR6s came equipped with 185R15 size tires (Redline Michelins or Goodyears). Some of the advice I picked up may be of interest to anyone else looking for replacement tires for their British sports car. I sought the advice of experts and read several articles on the subject. While this shouldn’t be a big deal, there were several considerations I had to bear in mind before making a decision. For the past several months I have been pondering the purchase of new tires for my Triumph TR6.
