Re: [Healeys] Tires

The 185 70 15 vredersein will fit fine.

Look at the last numbers in the DOT and you can tell how old the  
tires are.
If there are 3 numbers the tire was made in 19XX
If there are 4 numbers the tire was made in 20XX

Example     296   would be manufactured the 29th week of 1996
                    2906  would be manufactured the 29th week of 2006

You will be surprised how old your tires are sometimes. I see a lot  
of cars with tire
that are 15 to 20 years old all the time.

It is recomended to replace your tires at 7-8 years no matter what.
