Bob,
Are you sure about the the rim size. I had a '61 Healey 3000 and I
don't recall the rims being that wide. My snake has 6 X 15 rims and
they're definitely bigger than the ones that were on the Healey. If
your rims are 6", you could mount wider tires assuming you have the
clearance. As for understeer, try applying a bit more throttle. Just
be careful until you get the hang of it.
