I agree with Gary. If you want it done right the first time, send your wheels
to Allen and have him mount and balance the new tires and tubes you can buy
from him. You may find a way to do it cheaper locally, but it's all going to
depend on finding someone who knows their way around wire wheels. here's a
discussion on BCF you may find helpful:

Subject: [Healeys] Tires
I have
reviewed some of the threads re: tires. I am currently running
Dunlop 165 R15
on 60 spoke wire wheels. While the tires still have
adequate tread, they are
at least 10 years old if not older
So: Do I replace them; will 185 R15 fit (as
some have suggested in the
archives); what issues should I worry about and
where can I find them and
finally, can most tire shops work on wire wheels
without damaging them?
As always thanks for your input.
