[Healeys] FW: tires

Sun Nov 14 19:39:10 MST 2021

Good news, all sounds proper. I think the issues I saw were with 185
and some guys even went to 195! Rubbed the insulation off the wires to
the sidelights and on the 195 car speedo was off 10 MPH. Glad the
Healey is tooling down the road. I do like my 165s, but different
strokes..Hank

	The speedo was rebuilt by Nisonger last year and is right on the neon
sign on the side of the road telling me what speed I am traveling. No
rubbing anywhere inside the fenders. Love the ride on the 180’s and
they fill up the wheel wells very nicely. 

	Regards,

	Best tire for the Healey wheel arches is 165-15. You might want to
check your sidelamp wiring to be sure they are not rubbed out. Is your
speedometer accurate? Hank

	I also had same experience with Longstone recently buying 180 HR 15
XAS TIRES plus new tubes and delivery from Longstone direct to my
home. Much less that Coker and the freight was included in the price.
I installed my tires on my rims at a local Club here in SWFL. Then I
searched for a Tire specialist who has the machine to shave and
balance the tires. Put the tires into my SUV, Healey was not running,
and drove across Florida to east coast. The mechanic was fantastic in
shaving and balancing the tires and marking how the tires should be
mounted on the vehicle. Truest on the front others on the rear. Very
little shake at 55-60 only occasionally on rough roads. Saved a lot of
money using Longstone and finding a Tire garage locally to do the
shaving. They are out there just ASK Mr. Google “Tire Shaving and
Tire Truing near me”. Be careful as not all have the dies to hold a
wire wheel and the older shaving equipment from Amermac. Forget Tire
Rack dealers they do not have the equipment. 

	Highway Auto and Tire, Palm City Florida and others use Amermac True

	By the way, my tires rubbed the dogleg in the right rear tire on
strong right turns just after installation last year. Checking the
archives for those using 180 HRXAS tires it seems one or two listeners
mentioned the problem. Why only a few. I believe Healeys sheet metal
are not true one side to the other. Nevertheless, I do not find this
rubbing a problem now with 1,000 miles on them. Maybe they have
settled in?

	I had the same experience buying my XAS from Longstone. Very good
service and fast free shipping to US. I shipped my wheels to Hendrix
and Longstone shipped the tires there, where they were mounted,
balanced and shaved. I've owned XAS on several cars going back to
1972, I think they are a great tire.

	Longstone Classic Tyres in the UK. You get free shipping when you buy
tires from them. It took less than a week to receive my tires from
them. Check out their website.
