Re:tyre size

Rene,

there has been a frank exchange of views on tyre size quite a number of
times on this list. Most listers had no trouble with 185/70.  However, a
friend -classic car garage keeper with 30 years experience - is adamant that
the bearings will wear out fast. Can't confirm this. If you want the car
regularized to local law ( in Belgium: "gehomologeerd" ),  factory standard
tyres are required.
 Certainly, a B can use more grip than with the 165's .
