what tires for a 100 BN2? 185/HR15 or 185/70HR15

Re: what tires for a 100 BN2? 185/HR15 or 185/70HR

From memory I had problems,(ie a tight squeeze) getting the 185 into the spare tyre slot, ended up using a 175 for the spare
 
Re: what tires for a 100 BN2? 185/HR15 or 185/70HR

I saw a BN2 of a friend of mine today. The car has standard height and 185/80HR15 Avon´s fit very nicely into the wheelarches. In the end I really have to try and hope to be lucky.....

My new car will come from the UK next week. I am really looking forward having it in my garage. I had two 100´s 15 years ago and could not resist buying one again because I like the shape so much.... As I wrote in my former post it is Bill Emerson´s first healey which later went to Australia and then back together with NOJ392 to the UK. Unfortunately I do not know too much about the car´s history (especially in Australia). If there should be anybody out there who knows the car, I would be delighted to receive some information.

thank you, wolfgang

Finally I have taken a new set of Vredestein Sprint Classic in 185 HR 15. The tires fit very nicely and I could mount them with out any changes on fenders or body. Attached pls find some pics for your information. Thank you again for your advise!!!

Hello 356roadster.

Nice looking car, there's nothing quite like high profile tyres on a Healey to make it "look right".

You might want to get in touch with The Healey Factory in OZ as they may be able to help. Send them details of your car i.e engine/chassis # and or body #.

There were very few Healeys that made their way to OZ since the early 80's that didn't go through them so you may get lucky.

Regards,

bundyrum.

Hi Ed, thank you for your compliments. I am really enjoying my new baby.

Hi Bundyrum,
I have been in touch with the healey factory and they have sent me very nice informations concerning my car, which - you are totally right - went through their hands to the UK.

Wolfgang
