[Healeys] Tires

[Jackson Krall]

The "properly sealed rim" has been the issue for me. In order to properly seal, some sort of goop is going to have to be used which will inhibit ones ability to make future adjustments to the wheels. The only time I've had tube problems was when I was trying to run a low profile on a 15x6" ww. Tubes continually blew due to being of higher profile than tire which causes tube to overlap on itself and resultant friction causes blowout in short order, no matter how much talcom is used. Searched everywhere for low profile tube but not even Shelby Goodyear could help me out so I went back to a higher profile radial w/tube which was fine because a low profile looks stupid on these cars anyway.
