Title: HF Turbo Tyres Post by: Funwithlancia on 27 March, 2018, 09:40:01 AM Hi - restoring a HF Turbo - what are the views on original size tyres 165x65x14 - anyone had any good / bad experience with brands of tyre?
Ian Title: Re: HF Turbo Tyres Post by: simonandjuliet on 27 March, 2018, 10:52:28 AM I stayed with standard tyres on mine and loved them. Light steering , easy to park and fun at sensible speeds - roundabouts were a hoot!
Title: Re: HF Turbo Tyres Post by: Funwithlancia on 27 March, 2018, 10:55:32 AM That is my thinking,
It looks like Pirelli are the original fitment Probably going to buy a set just wondered if anyone had tried anything else. Thanks for the reply Title: Re: HF Turbo Tyres Post by: fay66 on 27 March, 2018, 11:28:11 AM Staying with the original size is good, with anything bigger the spare wheel will no longer fit in the wheel well ::)

I rate the tyres both in wet and dry. They did around 60 miles of track time at Goodwood and had good grip into corners.
PM if you would like to purchase!

Later changed to 185/60's and it wasn't half as good even if ultimate grip was probably higher. Also as has been said, the steering became much heavier. Title: Re: HF Turbo Tyres Post by: Funwithlancia on 28 March, 2018, 06:22:19 PM Thanks for the info guys
Looking forward to getting the car out later in the summer once I have completed afew tasks - no doubt this is not the last the forum has heard from us as we turn our attention to the sorry soul in the corner of the barn, the Lancia has been sitting for over a decade waiting for us to make an effort :) But now we have started I hope to keep the enthusiasm going - lighter evenings - warmer weather on the horizon too, that should help Ian Title: Re: HF Turbo Tyres Post by: lancialulu on 28 March, 2018, 08:10:48 PM But now we have started I hope to keep the enthusiasm going - lighter evenings - warmer weather on the horizon too, that should help Ian Title: Re: HF Turbo Tyres Post by: Funwithlancia on 28 March, 2018, 08:13:22 PM :)
