| Tyre |
Originally fitted with 165R15 tyres (p.104 'Original Triumph TR4/4A/5/6' by Bill Piggott, 1998 edition)
This tyre is now considered narrow for the rim; we would recommend a 185/70R15 would suit the rim width better and retain the same rolling radius. |
| Tube |
Tubeless
The chrome wheels have been tubeless since December 2007; and the silver-painted wheels have been tubeless since April 2008.
The stainless steel and black-painted wire wheels have always been tubeless. Tubes are only required if fitting tube-type tyres.
If you have the older, tubed wheels or are fitting tube-type tyres you will need 175/185 x 15 tubes and we recommend 15"/16" rim bands. |
| Notes |
Wheels which are larger than the standard size might not fit into the spare wheel compartment. |
