Uhh, since when? 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be mistertwo on  Sat Jun 15 13:46 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I have been running Kumho Ecsta Supra 712's in 205-55-16 size for the past 2 years on our 1994 850 Turbo wagon. Aside from a minor bit of rubbing on the inside wheel well when the front wheels are turned at full lock (usually while parking), I have experienced absolutely no problems from using this larger size tire. What I have experienced is a less jarring ride with a bit less rattling insiide the rear of the interior. I will be putting on Bilstein shocks and new springs soon to see if this will smooth out the ride even more. The grip of the KUMHO's has been very good compared to the Dunlop's that were on before - and the rain traction is absolutely top of the line.
