I am fairly new to my 1980 SC Sport having had it a couple of months. (I'll post a picture when I get time to fix my scanner!)It now needs new back tyres - 225/50/16s, currently having Bridgestone S-02 fitted.
I'm a little confused by the speed ratings as both Z and V seem to be up to 149mph, with W at 168 and Y to 186. Handbook does say V rating, so shouldn't have a problem with MOT. And as much as I would like, I won't actually be doing those speeds!Has anybody got any recommendations for rating/type I should buy, as there seems to be many choices with various prices!
So far I'm considering (prices each and fitted)unlop SP2000 (V) at £68.45Dunlop SP9000 (Z) at £113.25TOYO Proxes T15 (Z) at £92.26Pirelli P6000 (W) at £98.03Continental Sport Contact (Z) at £86.40 plus fittingBridgestone S-02 (Z) at £93.50 plus fittingI drive mainly on country B roads, although I do some motorway driving, and aiming to get performance both wet and dry.Any advice would be appreciated.ThanksLize
