[Healeys] Vredstein T-trac 2

[Harold Manifold]

Hi,

Tires are always a controversial subject, as every option has its pros and
cons.

That said, the tire closest in size to the original 5.90-15 Road Speed RS5
is the Michelin XAS 180HR15. These will fit any rim between 4.5" and 5.5"
wide, and they fill the wheel wells for a much better look than a 165 or a
low-profile tire.

Best regards,

Harold
