Available Tire Sizes for the MGB (FYI)

[BobMGT@aol.com]

These are all the available tire sizes I could find for the MGB. The
original sizes are no longer available as far as I can tell. I'm in the
market for new tires and I'm leaning towards a set of 175/65-14
Pirelli P6000 Sport Veloce's. Has anybody tried these? What's 
your favorite tire model and size?
