Factory Tires


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know what tires Mitsubishi equipped the Starquest with from the factory? All my build sheet says is the size and that they were RWL (raised white letter). Interested in this to keep the OG spirit alive! See image of my 1983 that I am getting back in the road.

I don’t know about the flat body cars but the wide body came with Yokohama A-008 tires (at least for 1987), which they actually still make for vintage applications, but I don’t think they’re available in our factory sizes

Looking through scans of old StarQuest articles I found one titled "Return of the Sudden Samurai" comparing the 1983 Starion, Supra, RX-7, and the 280ZX Turbo.  The specs table says the Starion was equipped with "P215/50HR15 BFG Radial Steel Belted" tires.  Don't know any better details than that.
