Tigers,
I have an excellent set of Western wheels, '60s vintage
They are 13 inch. I have four (4) Yokohama A509 in excellent condition
(I can send pictures).

I want to sell these and buy new tires and wheels.

I really want to put American Racing Torque Thrust wheels on my Mk1A.
If this isn't possible I'll go with the Panasports. Where can I get the
best price for them?

I'm not sure if I should go with 15' or 16' What tires should I use?

Is now the time to install disc brakes on the rear end? What's
available, from whom and how much?

Thanks in advance. I appreciate any suggestions/opinions.

Tigers,
I've decided to go with 15 inch Panasports on my Mark 1A.
I'm planning to use 15 x 6 on the front with 195 50 15s.

1) What is the biggest tire I can put on a Tiger, without
modification, on a 15 x 7 Panasport wheel?

2) I'm looking at high-end Toyo, Yokahama and Bridgestone tires.
What do ya'll think?

Thanks in advance.
