I have found them excellent particularly for wet grip and have lasted well with no cracking over a 6 year period. They were slightly cheaper than 60s as they are a more popular size. Fitting the 65 profile was a good move for me giving that little bit extra ground clearance.
Remarkable isn't it?!! And that is with only an extra 19.5mm (0.77")
divided by 2 or only 9.75mm more of an air cushion than originally.

Imagine the difference between a 14" and 16" Plus 8! I use an experimental set sent by MWS for the MMC to try for your cars
or so I was told.
We confronted this cushion thing on my wife's mundanemobile here in the Andes. She had 5 blowouts the first 2 years. My Morgan experience suggested a cure. I bought 4 new rims an inch smaller and compensated for the loss of height with higher tyres. That was a decade ago. No blowouts since and the wife thinks I am a magician.
