[Healeys] Fw: BJ8 Wheels and Tire Sizes? Final....

[Dallas Congleton]

"As far as I am aware, 175 are not available in US - are they?"

Robert,  175/80R15 blackwall radials listed as BFG, is available from Coker 
Tire Company. I have been looking for this size and found these, but have 
not had any feedback from anyone using them. They are so inexpensive I have 
been leery of them.

Maybe someone on the list has tried them and will give an appraisal.?
