A friend who owns a 1984 505 STI needs to replace the tyres. They are Michelin 190/65 HR 390 tyres on 150x390 alloy ‘Cromodorm’ rims. The alloys are made in Italy, wherever the hell that is. His problem is that replacement tyres are very expensive and he was wondering if there is a cheaper alternative. What other size tyres might fit this rims? I read in a previous discussion that the easiest(?) way may be to buy new rims to replace the metric STI rims. If this is the case it could be cheaper to buy new tyres, and keep the metric rims, which do look quite good.
Has any one else had faced this problem?
