Tires for Alpine wheels

[paulzooi]

Hi all.

I just got a set of black Alpine wheels. The classic ones and looking for nice tires to fit them.

8,5Jx17H2
10Jx17H2

Which sized would fit? The thinner and widest please.

Based in the US, would like to get them online and fit them by my local garage.

Thanks!

Great tire, but not available in those sizes. That's why I took off my T-Stars and bought my BBS LMs. The choices in 17" tires that fit the 8er is pretty limited.

Michelin Pilot Sports on there now-although Yokohamas in the picture (not sure which ones)

Weird. They say Ecsta (Kuhmo). Great tires.

Yeah - I remember the Kuhmos now -
There have been a few sets over the past 12 years...
