RE: [MarcosManiacs] Tire choices

2005-06-16 by Robert Carroll

For what it's worth, mine arrived with Yokohama V-rated AV1-60i rubber
on it.  The fronts are 195/60R13 and the rears are 205/60R13.
 
These look fairly new, but I don't see this model listed on Yokohama's
web site.  I can't speak for their performance because I haven't had it
on the road yet (wood chassis repairs pending).
 
You might try www.1010tires.com <http://www.1010tires.com/> .  I've
never purchased from them, but it looks like they've got a better
selection of 13" rubber than www.tires.com <http://www.tires.com/> .  It
would be a shame to pull the original wheels.

Maniacs,

As I am working on the restoration of 3M 5463 and have already 
rebuilt the dash, suspension and other ancillary parts, I wonder if 
there are any suggestions as to a 185/70 13 tire thats HR rated, as 
I have the original alloys? I'm (planning, at least) that I'll have 
the car finished by the end of the year and as I like to obtain the 
parts I need for a restoration before I actually need them, any 
suggestions would be appreciated. 
Any other owner history on my car would be appreciated, as well. I 
have the documents from Marcos Heritage, and have looked at the 
email postings here, but there is a big gap from the first owner 
(president of Ford Motor Company) to the first Maniac owner.

Thanks,
Hampton Peterson
