[Healeys] BN6 Tyres

[Neil McDonald]

Discovered this very interesting picture from the Longstone Tyres (UK) website illustrating different Healey tyre options.  The middle tyre with a white label is the original 590/15 and the two on the right hand end are the very common 165/15 radial replacements which Moss Motors recommends and are as currently fitted to my car. 

Longstone recommends the Michelin XAS 180HR15 pictured on the immediate right of the 590/15 - apparently for all big Healeys. Note the different diameters! 

In view of ground clearance concerns it seems to me that 180/15 is the way to go. However checking these same tyres on the Coker (US) website, they say that they are intended for 5-6.5 inch rims..... but the BN6 only has 4" rims!

Should I be concerned at this apparent Longstone-Coker-Moss conflict?
