I've run a couple sets of Vred Sprint Classic 185/70HR-15s on my BJ8 with 6" 
rims (photo attached).  Good on dry roads, 
not great in rain, abysmal in snow.  The 185HR15 Sprint Classic is taller--of 
course--and looks good with narrower 
rims.  The Sprint+ appears to be more of an all-season tire, but doesn't come 
in suitable sizes for Big Healeys.
