Ever the stickler for originality, I finally have the correct tyres on the car.
Had my BF Goodrich 8.50x14 Crossplys fitted today.
Fantastic! Very Happy
The Mercury drives far nicer. Sits taller & the wheels fill the arches.
Lovely.

Cool Lookin' good! Just don't let Mike see them. We need new ones for the Snipe and the Fairlane. Confused

I had radials on before.
A nice set but wrong for the period.
Now in the For Sale section for £75. Very Happy
