'82 280ZX tire choices for stock wheels

[vsburch]

I'm looking for a good choice for a more high performance tire than the stock 195/70s on my '82 280zx that I have now. What size tires will fit and look good on the stock spoked rims?

I've used 205/60s, but with 14" rims. you should probably try here:

195

Yokohama Avids! Great price to performance ratio!!!

I just (Saturday) put a set of 215/60R14's on my '75 Z with ZX 6-spoke wheels and I love them - I went with the Yokohama Avid T4.

I agree with the choice of Avids. I have Khumos on my car, which are also a great choice,
