FWIW, I'm on my 4th (5th?) set of Vredestein Sprint Classics 185/70R-15 =
on my BJ8. I've run them for well over 100K miles and have never had an =
issue; they're a good all-around (all-season) tire that is more than =
adequate for all but all-out racing. They are good in the rain, adequate =
in snow, grip well on pavement, have a smooth ride and are good for =
20-25K miles (they'll 'age out' before most owners put that many miles =
on them).
I run 6-inch Dayton 72-spoke stainless/chrome wires I bought from Bruce =
Erfer when he sold out of his garage in Soquel, before he opened his =
shop (British Wire Wheel). If I ever buy new wheels, I'd probably go =
with 5.5" rims as the wheels protrude a bit more from the sides than =
ideal, and the sidewalls look a little 'splayed'. The only rubbing I had =
was a R/R wheel that rubbed against a rebound bolt on hard left corners =
(but caused no appreciable damage). I have had problems with tubes =
leaking due to chafing (yes, I talced the tubes). I got a new set of MWS =
painted for the BN2 shod with 165/80 Vredesteins from Tom Monaco (the =
mounting was perfect but Tom said it was a lot of work). These are =
sealed wheels which, IMO, are the only way to go.
I haven't priced any Michelins, but if they're a lot more expensive I =
can't see the value (IIRC the Michelins require tubes but I don't know =
for sure). Note Michelin is otherwise my go-to; I have Cross Climate 2s =
on the Lincoln and Pilot Sport 4Ses on the Mustang. Years ago, the NA =
director for Vredestein owned a BJ8, and there was a red one on their =
pamphlets but I don't know for a fact it was his.=20

Tires are a somewhat contentious issue in the Healey world. I do have a =
background in the automotive world and started with the basics to pick 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 =
possibilities. The second consideration is to match the sidewall height =
of the 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 OD close to the original Roadspeed 5.90H15 to maintain =
the right look. Another consideration is the tire is a part of the =
suspension system and the sidewall of the tire influences the ride. A =
lower sidewall tends to produce a stiffer and harsher ride.
=20
I chose the Michelin XAS 180 HR 15 and am very happy with the look, ride =
and performance. If your BJ8 is a phase 2 with the raised suspension in =
my opinion the 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 profile tires look out of place as well.
=20
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 =
clearance issues but reports are they do fit.
