Mine runs on 185/80R 14. Always has done since I bought in 2003. Had Michelins on when bought.
I aqquired a set of Corona Alloys. These came with Michelin Agilas fitted with loads of tread. They are an 8-ply van tyre.
I found them to be far to 'harsh' on bumps and pot holes personally. On 'soft ground' they were hopeless. They may have just been very old, as I think the chap I got them off had them 'stored' for some time....
I replaced them with Hankook Optimo K175's. A summer tyre, and found them good, in both ride and handling. They passed 'they're' last MOT in October last year having covered 40k + miles, I was 'verbally advised' by the tester to replace before winter.
I did just that. My 240 is very much 'car 3' and not covering a great deal of miles now.... Mainly used as a load carrier from the local reclamation yard, lol. I, this time fitted a set of Nankang (same size and all 4) . I got them online from the French side of the Oponeo webshop. They weren't the cheapest, but not the most costly by far either. That said, so far I've not had any problems at all with them. They are 'quiet' comfortable ride and no complaints with grip so far.......
