[Healeys] 100-4 Tires

Sun Sep 20 16:32:27 MDT 2020

Hello,

Does this recommendation apply to 3000s as well. Just that my tyres, though not particularly worn, are probably a bit old. Need to look at them but car is not handy right now.

Indeed they do fill the wheel openings much better than the 165s.  There is one more benefit to the Michelin XAS 180s.  Because they are a bit taller, there is better ground clearance.

The tires from Longstone, esp the XAS 180R15, look like they'd fit our big Healeys much better than 165R15 alternatives, but the XAS tires require tubes I think.  Can you use them as a tubeless tire?   I'm about a year away, just thinking ahead.

I agree with Curt using Longstone Tires,

A smashing deal.  

They look great, great price, 5 day delivery to Seattle, no shipping cost or tax.  I have done it twice and I am delighted.
