Hi. First post. I am the proud owner of a 72 Rapier automatic. It's my daily driver and I love it. My question is, what are the proper "modern" tires for the car? There are 170/70R13s on it at the minute but a mate told me they should be 180s or 185s bur they're dearer. Could someone clear this up please. Cheers. |

Went for the 185s. Won't upload photos, something to do with valid characters n file extensions not being accepted. |

Hi,welcome to the forum.
Original tyre size should be 165/13.
You can upgrade to wider tyres - 185/70/13. They must be this size to maintain the correct rolling radius.
The 175's you have fitted will be effecting the speedo reading as the radius is too small.
