Subject: [TR] Tire size question

From: "Jim Henningsen" <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2020 17:53:29 -0400

Hello list:
Considering getting a set of VTO Silverstone 15 x 6 inch wheels for my 67
TR4A.  Car came with wire wheels, but tired of the tubes, cleaning etc.
Always loved the look of silverstones.  Anyone know what size tire came on
the original Silverstone alloys back in the 60s.  185X15?  Looking for the
right "look" profile on the modern tires.  Never liked the look of 185 or
195 65 15 on a TR.  Although, if anyone has a near new set of wires they
want to sell, may be interested, Thanks
Jim Henningsen
