All Austin Healey Sprites came from the factory with Dunlop 5.20X13 "gold
seal" crossply tyres. White walls were one of those options you had to get
from the factory here in the States, like the heater, front bumper, and
hood. When the Midget came out in 1961, or sometime a little later, they all
went to a Dunlop 145X13 radial.
Crash
Anybody know the concours rules for tires? Bugeye, Mk I, Mk II. MK III,
early Spitfire and/or Metropolitan... They all used 145 x 13 tires.
TIA,
Kent
1960 Bugeye
1972 Midget - Goner
1975 Midget - someday autocrosser
