[Healeys] Tires redux

[Editorgary at aol.com]

One more comment in the mix. The wider the tires, in my experience having 
driven on a lot of different cars) and the stickier the tread compound, the 
more likely the car will feel squirrely on rain grooves (it's call 
tram-lining, incidentally, in the motor press, going back to when tires would get hung 
up in the trolley tracks). That's one of the reasons I prefer a higher, 
narrower tire for the Healey, with a harder compound. Folks who choose to run 
185s, or worse, 205s, may think they look cool, but they are imho buying 
trouble.

Cheers
