But it only has a load capacity of 87 W. Does that matter? Thankful for every answer. Hi HP, there's a great thread on tyres here and here and here that I hope will help you out. As a newer owner I'm very grateful for help all the time from longer term owners... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 A load rating of 'only' 87 = 545kg per tyre. Kerb weight of a TR6 is 1130kg and allowing a rather generous 250kg for passengers and luggage, all-up weight could be 1380 kg. Assuming 50/50 weight distribution that is 345kg per tyre so there is plenty of margin to say the least. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnC Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 I would love to get my hands on some 185/70 for a price less than my firstborn! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fremont Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 On my 2nd set of XWX Made in Serbia; bought (5) the first time and (3) the second. Price went down about 25% before I bought the first set. Nothing like them for looks, feel and no TR will ever outrun them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi @Tom Fremont is this the tyre you're referring to? https://www.michelin.co.uk/classic/tyres/michelin-xwx?tyreSize=15 Edited May 8 by Steve-B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fremont Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 Steve-B, JohnC I get mine from COKER tire in the U.S.; they are sole source for many of the vintage tyres here. I'm getting some DUNLOP SP Aquajet V-rated in 185/80-15 from them for my concourse '250 with 200 BHP trick engine. It has the 3.7:1 differential though; with the XWX tires I have the 3.45:1. They are even more expensive but what isn't today... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
