For those who care about such, TR4s could have been equipped with various 
Goodyear or Dunlop bias-ply tires in the 5.50/5.90 x 15 size, or either 
Goodyear or Michelin radials in a 165 x 15 (165 x 380) size. I'm not 
sure, but I think that the bias-ply tires especially work out to an 
aspect ratio somewhat above 80 (maybe 84 or so) and the radials a bit 
closer to 80 (but still perhaps slightly above).
