Tires - me too! 700 1992

I too am looking to get tires for my 92 745t. I have the turbo 16" wheels - tires 205 55 R16 Bridgestone.

These tires have the directional tread pattern - so rotation has to be straight ahead. This has not been the best, as they are cupping somewhat.

Anyway - I want to go with a good tire - not as wide - a bit more nimble feeling - with a more traditional tread pattern.

Recommendations??

    There are lots of options. I'd be happy with Michelins, Pirellis, Yokohamas, or Toyos. Rotate them front to rear to even out the wear.
    Also, the cupping has to be due to wear or misalignment- it's not normal. Have the toe-in checked (that's the ONLY adjustment available on a 740) and replace the "cone bushings", aka lower control arm bushings.
    Small part, big improvement if they are worn out.
