4cvg replied to a thread 1976 R16TS - Kermit gets a refresh in Restoration Projects

Ta. A new one on me. Its predecessor, the HS51, seems to be grippy but soggy in structure &/or shoulder treatment. Crisp handling it isn't. I'd be...

4cvg replied to a thread B9 Berlingo tyre options/recommendations in Citroën Forum

Mind you, the NS-LR lists a 225/45. The car will be minimally worse off on this & stock might be newer. Then again, for $179, Bob Jane will sell...

We'll await wet events then. How have you found steering weight with the 195/65-15 Primacy 4 tyres? The Nankang (CX 668) is a poor tyre in the...

As I have observed before, not only is the XVS very dear, it's a mediocre tyre in the wet (especially if the road is wetter than merely slick). The...

Concerning "old stock": I assume that the type you have in mind is the NS-2R; there is no current listing for 225/50-17. Buyer beware!
