2. Re: Tyres for TR6 (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Tue, 12 May 1998 19:37:35 -0700; A small problem here. The '80' in 185/80 does not make the width 148mm. The '80' is the ratio (as a percentage) of sidewall height to the tread width. So the width of a 185/80/15 is ABOUT 185 mm and; /html/triumphs/1998-05/msg00879.html (9,568 bytes)
3. Re: Tyres for TR6 (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Tue, 12 May 1998 22:30:29 -0700 (PDT); Am I wrong in assuming that the TR6 was supplied with 185SR-15 tires, rather than 185/80-15s? I thought that SR tires (sport radials...) had a smaller diameter than "normal" tires. At least, that's w; /html/triumphs/1998-05/msg00890.html (8,085 bytes)

I put them on my MGTF in '89 and the 60TR3 in '95. Try the "Tire Rack" at 888.371.8473 if you can't find them locally.

7. Re: Tyres for TR6 (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Wed, 13 May 1998 14:01:05 EDT; Malcolm, you should be able to find 165/15's (even steel belted) fairly easily. Both Michelin and Dunlop still make them. My experience is that they are still used by several modern cars. I paid no m; /html/triumphs/1998-05/msg00937.html (8,557 bytes)
