Re: [AMC-list] 68 AMX Tire Q (Marc Montoni)

         i'm interested in the answer to your tire query also.

  currently i have Goodyear Eagle ST.  they look good w/the raised
white lettering and all and don't have many miles on them.

   lately you see a lot of stories saying tires should be replaced every
6-7 yrs. course i said yeah right tire company propaganda!   then i
looked up how old my tires are and mmm bought in '92!  jeez don't
know how they got that old, i didn't.   so will replace them
one of these days soon.   don't even know if they make the Eagle STs
anymore.

When the weather cleared last week, I spent ten minutes looking for a stamped code on the rear axle, but I'll be danged if I can find it.  I even scraped off the grime and paint with a razon on those small bosses where I would have expected a stamping.  No joy.

I would assume it's a 3.15 or 3.54, although as I recall the 3.54 was more likely found on 343/390 cars.

I'm more concerned with fit than performance.  I don't intend to thrash it on the track (I have a Spirit to do that with, now).  In short, I just want it to look good, handle OK, and not have interference issues.

Any help?
