Barney,
Well, before I got into my A to drive home, I *looked* at the tyres -- they
are 185's Cannot think why I thought they were 195's.
A question, when I had a '74 MGB, the steering seemed very heavy with 185's
-- but was OK with 165's. The 'A', however seems fine with 185's -- any idea
why? I had a standard steering wheel on the B, so I don't think steering
wheel diameter was an issue.
