[Healeys] Tiers Tires which Tires

[Bob Spidell]

Interesting that the Pirellis have a larger diameter, and much larger 
cross-section than the Michelins, Avons or Vredesteins. My 185/70R Vreds 
barely fit--I get a little rubbing on the bumper box bolts in the rear 
on hard cornering--but I run 6" rims.
