Anyone familiar with a Michelin "Destiny" tire? What are your thoughts about a 215 X 65 X R15 for a mid year Vette?

Thanks,
Rex

Re: Tires I wouldnt go bigger

than 205 on a mid year Rex the front tire to fender lip gets real close when turning into a driveway and the suspension is depressing. Phil 8063

Rex,

I have no info on the "Destiny" tire, but I have the Michelin Harmony 205/75-15 blackwall tires on my '64 and they are fantastic.

Re: Tires

Thanks James. I have learned that the two tires are the same, just a different name for marketing purposes. Can you tell me how tall your tires are?

Thanks,
Rex
