[Healeys] Tyres

[Joe and Lenore Armour]

Technically the optimum size is based on the rim width, therefore the 
tyre section size dimension is the selection criteria. You may have a 
choice of aspect ratio depending on the tyre market and supplier 
arrangement in your area.

I am pleased to see Michael is 'back' and agree that 175mm width was my 
choice.

 From the introduction or radial carcas construction versus the Healey 
design period cross-ply generally the go was lower profile ( aspect 
ratio ) therefore a corressponding smaller rolling radius and overall 
diameter.

Handling and tyre tread stability depends on the tyre fit to the rim width.

I do also recognise the one should not stuff-up the look of a Healey
