Let's take another run at this.
Dunlop Roadspeed tires (RS4 at that time) were fitted to all Hundreds, then
wire wheel 100/Six's, and wire wheel 3000's. About 1961 or so, the Roadspeed
RS5 was introduced and continued to be fitted to all the wire wheeled big
Healeys.
The Roadspeed was Dunlop's top of the line high speed tire for road use. The
Gold Seal tire was fitted to the disc wheel cars.
