Have a Avid H4 in my garage that I would have given you cheap. Nearly new. They replaced the tire for free due to a nail in the sidewall but my other three where done.
See if anyone on your boards wants it, will let it go for $25
195/65R15 Yoko Avid H4

Thanks All, I just ordered 4 Kumho Touring 732's for the Reatta.
Happy Trails :-)

WOW, Thanks ya'll! It looks like the Kuhmo tires are the tire of choice, looks like I may be giving them a try this spring. Thanks again all. :-)

Just curious if anyone has a suggestion for a great set of new tires for my Reatta. I was looking at the Yokohama Avid H4S on www.tirerack.com for $66.00 a piece, in the recommended size of 215/65HR15. Does anyone else have a better choice? I never drive the Reatta in the rain or bad weather so that is not my concern, I am just looking for a performance tire with confort and control.
The tires that i have on now are Goodyear Wingfoot tires (I don't think they even make these anymore, I haven't seen them at all) that are getting old and hard, in fact when I took the Reatta out this weekend I had a bumpy ride until the tires softened up from age and sitting in the garage for two months.
Thanks.
By the way folks, The second annual Gathering of the Buicks will be held this year again in Lenoir, NC @ the Expo Ctr, site of last year's show.
This year's show is on Sat. June 18th.

Thanks for all the suggestions on affordable insurance, I have requested quotes with all the above suggested insurance companies and hope to get an agreed upon value policy on my 1989 Reatta. I am currently insured by GE insurance that used to be Colonial Penn insurance but after hearing the alternatives I could be saving at least 3-4 hundred dollars a year with collectors insurance.

OK, I just checked out the weather report.... Who can tell what the weather will be?? I will still be there.
-
Looks like the weekend will be GREAT! Hope to see ya'll there.

I definitely agree with Padgett on this. I just replaced my speakers in my 89 Reatta and the cones were separated and the paper that once attached them was more or less just dust that disintegrated with touch. I purchased perfect speakers for the doors from http://www.crutchfield.com that matched up perfectly with the original holes. I used Blaupunkt PCx542. Good luck, it will be nice again to listen to clear crisp music again once you change your speakers.

Possible static electricity since it only happens when its cold and dry.

Thanks!

Excellent offer, I just wish they were grey in color. too bad.

"Go w/ the repair parts if motor runs, just does not raise and lower or chatters."
OK, I disconnected mine because the motor kept running and did not extend or lower, how would I go about fixing it as you say?

I use a product called Mothers Plastic Polish that works great.

I was just contacted by the service department manager at Folger's Buick in Charlotte, Norht Carolina. He has a customer that has owned their 1990 Buick Reatta since new and was looking to sell. He said the Reatta was purchased new form the dealership and has been very well maintained. I did not get the color combo however if anyone is interested please contact Roy Hall in the service department @ Folger Automotive Tyvola

I have to agree that the turnout was disappointing. I can only hope that next year it will be at least twice the size as this year was with a lot more lit and info to be had. The more folks that know about it the more folks that will participate to make it a better show. I also saw the hot rod get together on RT 321.
-
I'm outraged and discusted that your were treated like that. I would make a direct call to the BBB immediately.

It was a great time and we took lunch in Blowing Rock, NC. This is the first time that I atended this event and believe they are planning it again next year but not positive. There were only two Reattas in attendance including mine. Keep checking the board or E-mail Jerry Boden for info. I know that the Carolina division meets every year at the Food Lion auto fair spring and fall @ Lowes Motor Speedway also.

What an impressive poster. What a future the Reatta had they just jumped the gun when they pulled this car. I have talked to dealers years after the pull of the Reratta and they have all said that the Reatta was ahead of it time, they all had 3 times the inquires after the production was stopped then while in production. Remember the Mazda Miata craze? that happened after the Reatta stopped production.
