I have standard AH100 4" rims and the 180 tyres - no issue.

On top, my car was previously equipped with 195/75R16 tires on standard
AH100 wheels, and it did not look too bad...

Hi,
 
Polski, Vengri dva bratanki...
 
Unfortunatly You remembr wrong, our roads by no standards can be taken good.

I find the Michelins quite good, but my wires are just 4  wide. Do You think
I can sfely mount 180 tires? I think my choice should be Vred 165. What do
You think?

Hello,

I am not too keen in taking part in oil/tire type of threads, but it somehow
seems these threads are never too conclusive. Maybe one of the AH magazines
would do some tests on various tires??..

I did tire research too, and decided to go for Michelin XAS 180R15.

My research was based on:
http://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/page/Austin_Healey_Tyres and mediocre state
of the roads in Poland. I think the discussion was started by Gergo from
Hungary - there roads are slightly better :-)

We did some bulk order with few other AH maniacs in Poland and bought 4 sets
of the XAS 180R15

I should know by April how the car handles...

Tadek
