The speedo was rebuilt by Nisonger  last year and is right on the neon =
sign on the side of the road telling me what speed I am traveling. No =
rubbing anywhere inside the fenders.  Love the ride on the 180=E2=80=99s =
and they fill up the wheel wells very nicely.

Best tire for the Healey wheel arches is 165-15.  You might want to =
check your sidelamp wiring to be sure they are not rubbed out. Is your =
speedometer accurate? Hank

I also had same experience with Longstone recently buying 180 HR 15 XAS =
TIRES plus new tubes and delivery from Longstone direct to my home.  =
Much less that Coker and the freight was included in the price.  I =
installed my tires on my rims at a local Club here in SWFL.  Then I =
searched for a Tire specialist who has the machine to shave and balance =
the tires.  Put the tires into my SUV, Healey was not running, and drove =
across Florida to east coast.  The mechanic was fantastic in shaving and =
balancing the tires and marking how the tires should be mounted on the =
vehicle.  Truest on the front others on the rear.  Very little shake at =
55-60 only occasionally on rough roads.  Saved a lot of money using =
Longstone and finding a Tire garage locally to do the shaving. They are =
out there just ASK Mr. Google =E2=80=9CTire Shaving and Tire Truing near =
me=E2=80=9D. Be careful as not all have the dies to hold a wire wheel =
and the older shaving equipment from Amermac.   Forget Tire Rack dealers =
they do not have the equipment.

=20

Highway Auto and Tire, Palm City Florida and others use Amermac True =
Tuning/Shaving equipment: https://tinyurl.com/4nhkchbb

=20

By the way, my tires rubbed the dogleg in the right rear tire on strong =
right turns just after installation last year.  Checking the archives =
for those using 180 HRXAS tires it seems one or two listeners mentioned =
the problem.  Why only a few. I believe Healeys sheet metal are not true =
one side to the other.  Nevertheless, I do not find this rubbing a =
problem now with 1,000 miles on them.  Maybe they have settled in?

I had the same experience buying my XAS from Longstone.  Very good =
service and fast free shipping to US.  I shipped my wheels to Hendrix =
and Longstone shipped the tires there, where they were mounted, balanced =
and shaved.  I've owned XAS on several cars going back to 1972, I think =
they are a great tire.

Longstone Classic Tyres in the UK.  You get free shipping when you buy =
tires from them.   It took less than a week to receive my tires from =
them.   Check out their website. =20
