Re: Berlina tires

[NortonMarg@xxxxxxx]

A friend has suggested Pirelli P 4000 Super Touring tires in 185/70 x 14 as 
"the best" tire to put on a 1973 Alfa. He has a GTV and I have a Berlina. My 
favorite tire of all time was Yokohama A 008s. They had a big, fat controllable 
slide zone that you oozed into and oozed out of, AND made no noise. I went 
through 3 sets of standard compound tires and one set of R compound tires (I 
think the last set available in the country) on a Volvo 242 GT, before I got the 
Berlina.
They were a lot of fun on cloverleafs. I'd like to keep to a size that is 
equivalent to the stock outside diameter so I don't lose any ground clearance. 
Anyone have any favorite performance tires?
