Best Tire/Tire Size for Turbo "Virgo" rims? 200 82

posted by  someone claiming to be Miles on  Wed May 30 09:56 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hello all,

Well after purchasing that nice 82 GLT a week ago, i realized the car is in bad need of Tires(BAD!).. It currently has a set of Michelin "X" 195-60-15's on them.. Does anybody have a particular preference of tire that seems to look/fit/perform well on the Turbo's? I am especially looking for quiet ride and good combination of handling and wear, but would perfer a tire thats NOT too stiff (unless the stiffness really makes a difference in handling)...and hopefully not too much $$$ (!) any suggestions? (i know, everybody has their own preference, im just seeking suggestions)... also- is there a particular Size of tire that hugs the Virgo Turbo rims well? the 195-60-15's on there now look okay i guess but i wonder if there is a taller/fatter combo that seems to work well?? any info is greatly appreciated..thanks guys!
