What is the best tire to buy? 700 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be turbodog # 3 on  Wed Nov 5 03:33 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Go to the national mail order houses Tire Direct, etc. go into brands and they have good surveys for users of each, rated are all the specs for the tire. I like Dunlop A2 Sports (was D60 A2)and some of the Brigestones are very nice. The Dunlops are not the longest lasting but I like grip in the water so this is good. A couple of years ago they came in # 2 in a consumer reports survey for touring tires, just behind michelin X, which were twice the price of the A2. I replace them before they get hard and skid prone, from heating and cooling a thousand times. I learned the hard way with old Michelins that just would not wear out. Then comes that one time at 65 mph that requires grip in the rain..........We use them on 745 T (3 ea), 745T V-8, 245, 740, a 1967 Corvette and A hot rod Lincoln 1992 LSC. No problems in say 8-10 years of use.
