Tires And Wheels

Four days DHL deliver from my Mother Country. Tires from the other side of the world bought locally around the corner.
And as someone said on Bring a Trailer, "I like Panasports", or at least clones.

Allan, What size wheels and tires did you decide on? I'm considering 15x6 Rota wheels for the Spitfire, but my mind is in no way made up yet..

Bill,I went with 175-70 R13 tires. I figured even lower priced Kenda Tires would provide technology far superior to whatever existed in 1970 period radial tires.

While the heater core was out for leak testing I checked, cleaned and repaired the blower and ducting.
