[Healeys] Tires

[Bob Spidell]

List has been a bit moribund lately so I thought maybe I'd try to start 
some controversy.

I run Vredestein tires on both my Healeys; the BN2 from relatively 
recently to having gone through several sets for my BJ8 over the 
decades. I was somewhat surprised to see Vredestein mentioned favorably 
with some of the 'biggees,' as I'd always thought of them as a 'niche' 
supplier (but I had heard the GM for Vred in the US was a Healey fan and 
one of their brochures featured a BJ8 on the cover). I've always been 
happy with their performance and longevity, and they supplied tires in 
some of the less common sizes (185/70R-15 for the BJ8; 165s for the BN2).

The CR article cited is behind a paywall:

/"The very top of the winter-snow table has Bridgestone, Michelin, 
Nokian, and Vredestein as the most satisfying brands to own, and those 
latter three brands dominate the summer tires category, too."/
