[Healeys] tires

[Richard Ewald]

The powder acts as a lubricant allowing the tube and tire to move with lower
friction and thus less heat.
Also you must use radial tubes with radial tires. A tube designed for a bias
ply tire just will not work in a radial. Ask me how I know this.
Finally proper installation procedure must be followed or you can destroy
the tube before you ever get it on the car. You have to make sure the tube
is not folded or pinched inside the tire. The best way to do this is inflate
the tire/tube combo to about10-15 PSI and then remove the shrader and let
all the air out. If you are paranoid do this a second time then replace the
shrader and fill the tire normally.
