[Healeys] BN1/2 Scuttle Shake

[Michael Oritt]

Skip--

I wonder what kind of Michelins they were as not many Healey folks use
XAS's. Previously I had a set of XZX's which were a different animal
altogether--amongst other differences the XAS's are asymmetrical--and while
they were okay they were not great in the wet.  I have only had the XAS's
in the rain once thus far but they felt very good.
