Hi Randall; it's nice to get a bit of support on this! When I was looking
at getting more rubber on the road, I was condemned by most for doing it,
but clearly you know what it's like to be in such an emergency situation and
the cars are under-tyred in modern traffic situations. It seems like a more
common, and accepted, practice in the UK and Australia than in North
America.
Yes, tyre choice makes a big difference. I don't think I could go back to a
TR with the standard width tyres again. The only disadvantage is having to
have a different-sized spare to the rest of the tyres. I found a 165 was
very difficult to fit in the spare wheel slot, so I had a space saver
fitted. I hope I never have to use it.
