Tires for my 1989 740 16-V

Hi guys,

I have a sweet running '89 16-V and it's finally time to toss the Michelins I put on it years ago and get something new. I was just wondering what the largest size tire I can use with the stock rims would be.

Stock tire size is listed as 195/60-15. I'm just wondering what anyone has used, larger (wider) than these, in order to get a little more rubber on the road. I also need a recommendation as to where I can buy polyurethane bushings for the sway bar, etc. thanks.

Also, I'm interested in any tire recommendations you may have.

Regards, Mr. P
