Have my 84 Supra (P-Type) in the shop now; 194,000 miles, original clutch. It sat out all winter and needs a bit of work done to get it running.
The tires I have are pretty worn, and a bit of dry-rot is showing up.
I'll need to replace them soon, and have been reading up on the tire issues with the 14x7 wheels (original wheels on this car).
I checked the list of available tires on this site, but I'm wondering three things:
1) Can anyone explain the 7mm offset, and the 37mm offset now standard? I checked the link on this site that gave diagrams about offset, but I sure couldn't figure it out. Will this even effect my tire purchase?
2) for standard driving, do you want different wheels on the back than the front?
3) anyone have any reccomendations on the available tires?
My Supra is a sometimes station car, and a weekend short-tripper. Will not be driven in a high-performance style, at least until I have a bit more cash to drop into it.
Thanks for your input,
Keith
