Anyone have a picture of their classic with bulging tires? 205/60/R14 preferred.

i know it isnt what you asked for but its close and i thought id just throw it up for you...BTW the tires are 195-60-14s

Yeah, I'm thinking about getting some 195/60s to close the gap. I have a couple on the front right now and they handle better on corners than my old 185/60s, and acceleration isn't really affected. The only thing I know that's a little off is my speedometer.

The reason I ask for the the 205/60/14 is because I want to know if the tires will rub the struts.

im almost positive they will on those( camber'd to peices) in the back i have very little room between the spring seat and tire i couldnt even really get a finger inbetween the two. i advise sticking to the 195/60s

205/55-14 left a hair's breath of space between the tire and rear strut. 205/60-14 will rub.

Alright, so I went to the local Big O Tires people and all they had in stock was this brand:

Nankang EX-601 195/60R14/STD 86 H BLK (24-620)

http://www.bigotires.com/TireDetails...&PartNo=24-620

The guy priced me 144 for a couple w/ installation and said (and I quote): "They're good burnout tires!"

Anyone have experience with this taiwan rubber? And wth did he mean by good burnout?? Is that good or bad? I kinda want my tires to last for at least 2 years.
