Quick question, are there any Healey 3000 owners on here? What are the ttre pressures for the Mk III? Car's in another garage (with the handbook in the glovebox) and I can't see technical details on the web anywhere confused

The book says, for a BJ8, 20 front, 25 rear add 5 psi for over 110 mph. That's for 5.90 cross plies. I run 185 70 15 radials at 28 all round for road use, blow them up to 30 for blasting.

thanks for the info, reason for asking was that I ran down to Goodwood this morning, left early and wasn't sure. I read the book setting but my brother has changed the tyres to radials so I set them to 28 all round. smile
