[Healeys] Tires

[Curtis Arndt]

Bob,

The wheels on the two car photos that I sent are 60 spoke, so they are 4.5"
wide.

I went with the XAS 165X15 for several reasons... this was the original
size radial for the 100s, I liked the look better than the 180X15 tires in
the wheel arches, and they have a nice light feel when driving (they're
lighter), but it's all very subjective and the 180s are great too.

Cheers,

Curt
