Our 177 came with 14" rims.  As I have previously posted, we put 22,000 miles on them and last year after furpod told me I better replace, I did.  The tires were way past expiration date although I think only 50% of the tread was worn off; the tires still appeared great.  So we replaced last year and have 3000 miles on our new C rated tires.

I just did the same. Was going to put the Carlyle tires on but went with the Goodyear instead. D rated and heavy sidewalls with a higher speed rating. Not cheap but should be worth it.
