[TR] 62 TR4 tires

[Geo Hahn]

Tire size is very much a personal choice and sounds like you are set on
wide and low, but have you considered something closer to the original
fitment?

Vreds in 185/15 give the car (IMO) a great period feel consistent with how
it was designed.  They also look right to my eye.
