Coker Tire states on their website a rim width of 5=E2=80=9D to =
6.5=E2=80=9D for the Michelin XAS 180HR15 89H. Great tire, I just =
installed them for a second time last May.

Tires are a somewhat contentious issue in the Healey world. I do have a =
background in the automotive world and started with the basics to pick a =
tire. Originally my car had 4" wide rims which limited the tire choice =
to a 165 HR 15. I upgraded to 4.5" wide rims which opens up a number of =
possibilities. The second consideration is to match the sidewall height =
of the original tires for a couple of reasons. The profile of the wheel =
well on our Healey is basically the same for all models. The tires =
should have an OD close to the original Roadspeed 5.90H15 to maintain =
the right look. Another consideration is the tire is a part of the =
suspension system and the sidewall of the tire influences the ride. A =
lower sidewall tends to produce a stiffer and harsher ride.

=20

I chose the Michelin XAS 180 HR 15 and am very happy with the look, ride =
and performance. If your BJ8 is a phase 2 with the raised suspension in =
my opinion the 165 HR 15 has too small a diameter and doesn't look at =
home within the wheel well profile. For the same reason I think the =
185/70HR15 profile tires look out of place as well.

=20

For comparison this is the table I put together to help pick out tires. =
All of these will fit a 4.5" - 5" wide rim. The wider tires could have =
clearance issues but reports are they do fit.

I use that tire on my BJ8 as it is closest to the original bias 590s. =
The 180 may affect your speedometer reading and could rub the sidelight =

rub. Here is the look of the 165 with 60s in the the wheel well. Hank
