Re: [Tigers] wheels, tires, & suspension?

Rob:

I have 14-inch Panasports mounted with 6-inch rims on the front and 7-inch 
on the rear.
Dunlop 185/60 in front and 195/60 on the rear.  These come pretty close to 
the rolling diameter
of the original tires, so the speedo is reasonably accurate.  I pondered 
the same situation
when I made my decision and went with the 14's because I thought they gave 
a more
classic look (important when you're my age!)  Some Tigers were fitted with 
14's back in
the day on after-market wheels, but I never heard of any with anything 
bigger than that.
The other consideration is what kind of performance you are looking 
for.  Larger diameters
will probably provide a larger selection of higher performance tires (not 
so important at my
age!)   You can see what the 14's look like on my car at
