For the MGB, the Michelin web page recommends 185/70-R14s
(Energy MXV4 - speed rating 88H) for touring.
They recommend the following for "all season/highway"
RainForce MX4, X-one or Symmetry ( all 185/70R14). By
my calculations a 185/70R14 is about the same diameter as the
165R14s that they put on the car originally and 20 mm (about 3/4")
wider.
I assume that the extra 20 mm would give a better grip. Are there
any negatives on this such as clearance problems or heavier steering?
