Subject: Tyres and wheels
My getting tyres for the Lagonda is fun! I knew that the height of the tyre would be a problem when compared with the original Dunlop SP68 205HR15 Radials when fitted. These were approx 720mm Tall. I'm running two sets of wheels, one with Pirelli Cints 205R15TL the other on the latest Avon 205HR15 Textiles. The Pirellis come in at about 690mm tall & the Avons are 708mms tall! All of these heights are with Nil Load. Other tyres come in even lower than these.
My question for all is, using the original Dunlop Pressed Steel wheels, am I OK to use tubeless tyres with no innertubes?
Also should anyone have any original wheels going spare, I'd love to buy them. By for now! Guy.
