Wheels and Tyres questions: planning for replacements

Update on 411 tires

The standard size for the 411 is 205 R 15 so we can talk about:

AVON: Currently unavailable

Pirelli: Cinturato CN72 is available at over £500 each. Good tire but a bit stiff on the shoulder, giving a harsher ride then the old AVONS.

Dymax: Radar is the worst thing you could buy. The 411 behaves terribly with these tires. A recent test in a German classic car magazine showed that braking in the wet resulted in a 30 meters (!) longer stopping distance than other brands. Don’t take them, even if they are free!

I have fitted now Dunlop Sport Classic 215/70 R15. They are slightly smaller than the 205-15, but I can live with this. The car is transformed! Cornering is fun again, the car feels very balanced and comfortable. Good braking performance in the wet. I can fully recommend them
