Re: [alfa] What year did 185x70 tires start?

["Dean W. Cains" <dwc@xxxxxx>]

Hi Carl:

I'll take a shot and guess that the 185/70-14's didn't hit Spider's until 
after the Turbina's were gone, as they're right on the edge of being too 
narrow for that width tire.  So, let's call it '82; first year of the Bosch 
L-Jet Spider, and those new-style Daytona 5-spoke alloy wheels.  Make any 
sense?  FWIW, I've got those same wheels on my '87 Veloce, and Cromodora 
repro's of the original Daytona's on my '74; both with Falken 195/60HR14 
Azenis tires.

If this is a real serious issue for you. shoot me a personal email, and 
I'll be happy to dig up my copy of R&T's Alfa road tests, which has many 
Spider's included, so the tire size change should be easy to find.

Regards,

Dean
