Paul Stag Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 New to the Forum and a lack of IT skills so sorry if I got it wrong.Question is my Stag needs 4 new tyres shortly. I fancy doing a few more hill climbs etc.Any ideas for a suitable tyre? I have standard Stag allow wheels and am based in N.Suffolk.Cheers, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanChatterton Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I used to run my Stag on 195/70/14's.......... readily available, slightly better handling than the 80 profile standard fitment, but still fills the arches and look good.I got mine from tyretraders.com Paid £200 delivered fora set of 4 GoodYear Eagle GT3 and then £20 to have them fitted and balanced locally.

steaming Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Must admit mine are the standard 80 profile, but will change to 70 profile when the time comes. ;)Where abouts in N. Suffolk? We are over in Barton Mills. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kryten Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Running mine on 205/70 VR14s on the stock rims - fills the arch nicely, and seems to ride nicely over our wonderful British pothole collection that we call roads.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Hi, I will need to do mine soon too as although they are all okay I have a mix of brands and I would prefer one make, if I drop to a 70 profile is it going to make a big difference on the speedo?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sax player Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 just fitted new wheels and tyres 205 50 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StagRV8 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Tyre on mine are some wire 15" with 215x60. There was a bit of rubbing and the fronts needed a spacer and rear needed longer wheel studs. Think ill drop down to 205 when i have too. Makes the car look better with fatter, lower, tyres and give less body roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
