[Mgs] 175/65/14 Tires for MGB???

[Barrie Robinson]

I have 185/70/R14s on wires and steering is not too bad.  But I have 
sent away for that Targett kit which changes the caster from 7 to 2.5 
degrees, which apparently is what it should be for radials.  Those 
who have tried the mod are very happy.
