Re: Tires???? HELP PLEASE!!!
i got continental zipps for my 86. size: 3x10. fitment is kind of an issue in the rear: you will need to drop the stock airbox (which it sounds like you did). also one of the bolts holding on the exhaust interfered, a spacer is needed to not allow it thread all the way into the wheel area. i have yet to ride them, but they look good, will give you higher gearing(the bigger dia. you go), and from what i read are good in the wet ( i live in seattle) and good handling. they arnt the cheapest, however.
