Original Tire Size on '89 Vert

[gilbybarr]

What was the original tire size of the Goodrich TA radials on the '89 Avanti Convertibles? I cant find a reference to the originals...the sales brouchers show the Goodrich white letter TA's, but no size is given. Was it 205-70 15 or was it 205-75 15? Thanks a bunch. Ed in Knoxville.

I have a tire information sticker for an '87-'90 Avanti, but it doesn't differentiate between a coupe, convertible or 4-door. It does state the tire size is P205/65R15 all the way around with a cold inflation of 28 psi. The temp spare is listed as a T155/80D16.

There should be a tire size/pressure sticker on the passenger side door jamb. My '87 Avanti calls for a P215/65R15 tire.

What size are your rims? My 87 has wheels that look like Corvette wheels with a center cap the says Avanti, they are too wide for 205 tires. There is no sticker on my door jam. bill

I didn't get the orginal rims with my '87 Avanti, but the rims that it came with were 15x5 or 5.5. The rims I have on it now are 16x6 with a 4" backspace. P225/60ZR16 tires.

Just to add my two cents, My 1988 with 13,000 miles still had the original tires, B F Goodrich Comp T/A size P215 / 65R 15 Bob L
