Carlos: I like the Michelin 175R15 (presently unavailable, but I'll bet
they will be back). They are 26" diameter, like the original bias ply. To
me they look good and ride well.
I have used 195-65-15 also, and they are good road tires with good grip for
autocross, but IMHO, they don't have the correct period look on the Healey.
