[Healeys] BJ8 Wheels & Tires...... decision made.

[John Soderling]

Robert,
I'm interested in knowing how 185/80R15 tires work out on your car.  I was 
thinking of getting that size when I bought new tires for my Healey four 
years ago and was told that they were too big for the Healey and the front 
tires would rub the wheel wells when turning sharply.
Please let me know how they work out.
Thanks.
John
