Wrong tyres... oops

["James Carruthers" <j.carruthers@rave.ac.uk>]

Do any other listers have 165-80-13's?

I realise now that I should have got 165-70-13's... I bought them at a
time when I didnt really know what all those numbers meant... the old
tyres were actually 80's as well - but the were significantly worn. Added
to this the Spax that I installed just after the new tyres - which I
believe lower the front.

I was having problem with rubbing on the bulk head - and realise now what
was the cause of the tyre pulling the wheel arch lip down...

When on full lock the tyre was rubbing on the bulkhead - the tyre is then
"climbing" up the bulkhead - essentially pulling the car downwards and the
wheel arch lip on to the tyre...



Ooops....
