Post Wheel/Tire Sizes

Curious, how did you like the 15" wheels on the CD ? .

I'd have to go look at my 1982 20D to see what the tire size is, there's a sticker in the driver's door jamb, go look at it and use that size . the car is far from here right now, I can go look if you want but your car has the info.

Resist the urge to $ave a few dollars on tires ~ this car came to me a decade ago with brandy new Chinese (?Kumho maybe?) tires, they stuck O.K., not great but wore rapidly and one time I got a nail in the tread on the freeway, slowed way down and by the time the next exit came up the tire was toast due to heat .

Not good, false economy .

My gray market 300TD came with 15" wheels, it's nice, rides well, and handles well too, I'm not allowed to slap it 'round like I do my Coupe and 240D sedan because I bought it for SWMBO so it must remain clean and pretty, if I wadded it my sex life would screech to a distinct halt I fear .
