[Healeys] Tires again!!

[josef-eckert at t-online.de]

The 180-15 Michelin XAS is much too wide to fit through the spare wheel hole. No chance at all. Even a new Dunlop Roadspeed 590-15 is only going through when you release the airpressure. Also a 165-15 is not going through.

Michael--

 

Just for your info the 180-15 Michelin XAS's that I recently purchased not

only fit the 100's wheel wells perfectly but also the spare tire aperture.

 

And they drive great!

 

Best--Michael
