Alan -

Longstone has a few options for you:

http://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/page/austin-healey

coker has options too;

http://www.cokertire.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=185/70R15
http://www.cokertire.com/165hr15-vredestein-sprint-blackwall-tire.html

note that if you have the original rims on your car (60 spoke, 4.5
inch rim width) then the 165s are a good option and MUCH cheaper.

Alan--

Opinions will vary on which tire is best but I think everyone will tell you
to have the same time on all four corners. If you must keep it, make the
Riken a spare but no more.

I tried a look in the archives, but it was pretty daunting.
My BN 4 came with 3 old, but almost no miles P 3s, and a new Riken. Tire
size
185/70 15. Anyhow the 3 Pirellis are toast. So I need 3 or 4 new tires. Not
having much luck looking on the web. Suggestions please.

Thanks, Alan
