Ian is correct about the XL specification.

I had 35 years with Goodyear Tyres..F1 and laterly Earthmover Tyres...quite a difference!!

The XL are stiff in the side wall and to my mind it suits the set up of the SS and my driving style.

No issue with rim rub on suspension but from a distant memory I believe early Minilites did catch on the suspension..I may be wrong about that !!!

Tyres catch on inner bodywoek on full lock but this happens with many Trads and is not an issue at MOT time.

Please post photos when fitted.
