Coker Tire states on their website a rim width of 5=E2=80=9D to 6.5=E2=80=
=9D for the Michelin XAS 180HR15 89H. Great tire, I just installed them for=
a second time last May.

Mitchell,
=C2=A0
Tires are a somewhat contentious=C2=A0issue in the Healey world. I do have =
a background=C2=A0in the automotive world and started with the basics to pi=
ck a tire. Originally my car had 4" wide rims which limited the tire choice=
to a 165 HR 15. I upgraded to 4.5" wide rims which opens up a number of po=
ssibilities. The second consideration is to match the sidewall height of th=
e original tires for a couple of reasons. The profile of the wheel well on =
our Healey is basically the same for all models. The tires should have an O=
D close to the original=C2=A0Roadspeed 5.90H15 to maintain the right look. =
Another consideration is the tire is a part of the suspension system and th=
e sidewall of the tire influences the ride. A lower sidewall tends to produ=
ce a stiffer and harsher ride.
=C2=A0
I chose the Michelin XAS 180 HR 15 and am very happy with the look, ride an=
d performance. If your BJ8 is a phase 2 with the raised suspension in my op=
inion=C2=A0the 165 HR 15 has too small a diameter and doesn't look at home =
within the wheel well profile. For the same reason I think the 185/70HR15 p=
rofile tires look out of place as well.
=C2=A0
For comparison this is the table I put together to help pick out tires. All=
of these will fit a 4.5" - 5" wide rim. The wider tires could have clearan=
ce issues but reports are they do fit.
