[Healeys] Tires

[sbyers at ec.rr.com]

I have always used 30 psi in front and rear in my ’66 BJ8, since 1984.   The current set is Nexen, installed new in 2015 and now with 11,000 miles.  I haven’t driven the car much since the 6000 mile roundtrip to AHCA Conclave in South Dakota in 2019, thanks to Covid and then the focus on restoration of another car and none of the tires are showing wear.  It’s too bad about waste of aging tires, isn’t it?

Listers,
 
I am soon going to replace the tires on my 66 BJ8.
 
Currently, my tires (Pirelli P 6000) are showing wear in the middle of the tread and slight wear on the outside and inside edge of the tires.  I am running 30 lbs in the tires.
 
What pressure do most of you use?
 
Thanks,
 
Fred
