Product Questions & Answers
Question:
What is the height comparable to modern tire 70... 80 ? I was considering this tire for a 1958 Austin Healy Sprite. Do you give up traction compared to a modern tire? This is a driver, not a show car.

Answer:
Each size from the F560 selection would be considered an 80 series tire (80 aspect ratio). These are radials and offer a modern compound to meet DOT requirements. The F560 performs well in both wet and dry conditions and is a popular option for bot hot rods and European cars such as yours.

Question:
I recently purchased these tires for my 1953 MG-TD. One rim has a leak that needs welding. These are tubeless tires and I am not sure if the rim was designed for tubeless tires anyway so I would like to know if I can / should use tubes with these tires.

Answer:
Yes, this tire can be used with a tube, and the MG-TD should be fine for running tubes if needed. Click Here for the proper tube.
