>Hi Greg,

>I fitted a set of five 155x15 Michelin X tube-type radials to my DHC. These
>are available from Coker at approximately $120 each plus another $20 or so
>for each Michelin radial tube. The improvement in ride and handling was
>drastic to say the least!
>
>The only problem I encountered might only hold true for DHC's - that is the
>spare rode "low" in the tire well putting a strain on the vertical support
>strap which receives the "T" bolt (which in turn secures the spare wheel).
>The fix was accomplished by slitting four pieces of black PVC pipe
>lengthwise and snapping two of them, one over the other, on each
>longitudinal tire support located ahead of the rear bumper. This
effectively
>"lifted" the tire within the well so that it was centered within the
>opening. The PVC pipe is completely invisible to all but the most curious
>"Morganophile"!

>All the best,
