To start off you will never find a tire that will work on the Healey for
$30-40. The only stuff you will find in the price range I would not even use
on any car. We have been installing 195 70 15 Vrederstien tires on lots of
car and I have been using them on my own personal car for the last 10+
years. This size tire is the largest you can put on the Healey without it
rubbing. Other tire sizes are also used but all are hard to find.
