15 x 6.70 Size Tire Ok for 100-6 Wire Wheel?

[hundredsixinsf]

I located a set of 15 x 6.70 sized Michelin new bias ply tires and curious if the will fit the stock wire wheels on my 100-6?

Also, what size inner tube is correct for this size tire?

100-6 insf, First I would not recommend a bias ply tire for the car unless you are going concourse. Second as I recall the 6.70 X 15 tire was used on the circa 60 Corvettes and may just be a bit much for the standard Healey rim. A good tire size which emulates the original 5.90 X 80 X 15 tire used on the standard Healey rim is; the 165 X 80 X 15 tire. Other newer sizes available now will also work---Fwiw--Keoke

Ok. Thanks Keoke. I'll pass on them. I see the tire rack sells Kumho tires in the 165/80 size. Guess I'll pick up a set of those.

I saw that same set on Craig's List. I assume you picked em up. Careful about any tire older than 5 years as the rubber changes chemically and even if unused can be a blow out hazard. Other threads on this list have beat that horse to tatters.
