Original tires for the 1987 - 1992 were P225/55VR16 Goodyear Eagle VL. For the 1993 they were P225/60ZR16 Goodyear Eagle which had a higher top speed rating.
1993 V4J Pearl Mist, 1993 Opaque White

I read in the latest mag that there were special tires made for the Allante. What make/model were they?

You will go less revolutions / mile and as result your speed will not register the proper speed. You will be off by 3.4% so if you can live with that fine, for example if you are going 65 mph on your speedometer your true speed will be 67.24 mph.
Below is chart to make comparison. You are changing the aspect ratio, as the 1st number is the width of the tire in mm, the second number is aspect ratio which the original tire is 55% of the 225mm.Divide the mm number by 25.4 will equal the inch measurement as 25.4mm = 1inch
Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile Difference
225/55-16 4.9in 12.9in 25.7in 80.9in 783 0.0%
225/60-16 5.3in 13.3in 26.6in 83.7in 757 3.4%

There are more options in 225/60 plus the ability to get better brands like Pirelli or Michelin much cheaper than the cost of 55 series

I don't know much about tires. What is the advantage of 60' over 55'?

Hi all -
Hope you're all doing well! Question... can you run 225/60-16 in lieu of the 225/55-16 tires? Any issues with clearance with the struts or when turning the wheel to the left/right? Just got chrome rims for my 1991 so its a good time to get fresh rubber.
Thanks all!!!!!
