Anyone used these tyres?

[Bearman]

I'm looking at some new wheels and tyres for the Coupe. I'm going for 16" rims looking at 7" for the front and 9" or 10" rears. I have been recommended Sumitomo tyres, model HTRZ. They are one of the very few I can get in 255/50x16. Would go 265/50x16 if I could get them.

Has anyone used these tyres and what do you think of them?

Any alternatives?

Coupe owners - What's the biggest wheel/tyre combo you have used without lipping your guards? I don't want the fronts to be catching the guards on turns nor do I want the rear sidewalls rubbing while cornering or with back seat passengers.

I'm not going to 17" because the cost of tyres jumps a lot for wide sizes and I don't think large diameter rims with liquorice strap tyres particularly suits older cars.

I want to stay away from 15" because I'm limited pretty much to BFG T/A's for tyres which are pretty average. To get away from those I need to go for 60 profile bags which I don't particularly like.

Look forward to hearing from y'all.

Cheers................
