Hello everyone, Steve here with a 1964 E Type located north of Seattle. Ive owned the car since 2006 but 2 years ago it was hit in a parking lot leading to allot of work and uncovering rust and previous repairs on the car. I love these works of art and it deserves to be put back in service properly and driven regularly. My fist question to the group is what’s your preferred tire manufacture for the 185/15 tire on a wire wheel, don’t need a 150 mph tire!!!
Thank you.

Hello, Steve,
I *HATE* parking lots for just that reason and avoid them wherever possible; people take the anonymity of a parking lot as license to Hit and Run.
I wish you success repairing your Jaaaag.

Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.
