Just replaced all four corners on the GTV with new rubber.

Nothing exotic (Kumho Ecsta 4X II - 205/55/R15s are an unusual size so choices are fairly limited) but OMG what a difference.

The clapped out Goodyear Eagles were just about shot (and no longer available in that spec), but I guess I just got used to it.

Unbelievable how much nicer she now rides, grips and steers.
Now:    2002 156 GTA
            1981 GTV
Before: 1999 156 V6 Q-auto
            2001 156 V6 (sadly cremated)

V AR 164

Probably the best 'mod' you can do to any car, a good set of tyres with a good alignment. Love my new Bridgestones and I too couldn't believe the difference it made in both the grip and comfort.
