Hi, Everyone!
Now that upholstery and paint are complete on the Spider, I was hoping to spiffy up under the bonnet. Yes, probably did it backwards as I had my gal brain on. In any case, the nightmare under the bonnet is on hold for a bit more as we have found that the tread cap on both rear tires is beginning to split (Pirelli 185 70R 13). So, I have started the hunt for tires and need advice! The brands that have come up most often are Maxxis, Kumho, Toyo, Sumi"somethings". Any experience with these tires? Suggestions, please! Oh, BTW, since Spiders came with the alloy wheels (also on 8's) I would like to keep those, so I don't think we can fidge on the size of the tires a whole lot (if at all?). Thanks so much for your help!--Monica
