Hi all

Just finding my feet with the new car (30 year old!) car. Its quirky so there are a few things that are not straightforward, plus its been modified a bit with good quality BMW upgrades.

Its fitted with very pretty 17" Hartge wheels, tyres in great nick but getting old, and 245/235/17 in size - trouble is finding it hard to find new replacement tyres unless I consider a Chinese brand. Any tips on where to look or else what other sizes might work?

I'm sure other questions will begin to flow soon enough with warm weather use!!

Cheers

Welcome. I remember my mate raving about them in the late 80s/early 90s when he worked at a BMW dealers in Leeds. He was like 'The doors go into the sills!'
