Hello folks,

I feel ashamed as I have no problems with circumferences of tyres, 
speedo models or any such things!   My speedo AND tach played up and 
replacements were expensive so in a moment-of-pique I installed Speedhut 
gauges.  Not original but then my MGB is definitely not original by any 
means.   But wonders of wonders - the speedo works off GPS and not even 
connected to the car ! Total accuracy all the time no matter what 
tyres.  One of the few modern technologies that actually are a help.  I 
am still smarting from the installation of a new "modern" Pioneer radio.

                                I screwed up.  Reading the MG Experience
                                forums I bought Douglas tires at a great
                                price.  Taking off the old tires tonight
                                I found they were Dunlop SP-20s made in
                                1999.  Wow!  The size on the tire was
                                165R15.  Without looking and going by
                                the recommendation of the MG Experience
                                web site I bought 14 inch tires.  Crap. 
                                Now I have to try to take them back. 
                                They have not been mounted so they are
                                still just like I got them.  My question
                                is, what the heck size tire should I get
                                for a 15 inch wire wheel rim?  The MG
                                Experience forum is saying 185/70 R15 is
                                closest, (1/4 inch smaller) but not
                                readily available for a decent price.  A
                                185/65 R15 is the next most popular
                                tire, but smaller in diameter by an inch
                                than the Dunlops I am taking off. 
                                165R15 tires are 25.65 inches in
                                diameter.  My head is about explode.<br
