Thanks Jack & Paul - we are getting there !

Paul, the tyres are 235/45/17 Falkens up front on 8" rims & 275/40/17 Falkens on the rear on 10" rims.

Wheels are Simmons FR17's, fake knock-offs by DRB.

I reckon the front tyres are just right, but that the rears should be 285's or even 295's. Neither size is easy to find here in Oz, hence the 275's for the time being.

The upholsterer who did such a nice job on the seats took one look at my amateur carpeting job, then simply raised one eyebrow - that was enough to make my wallet cringe (again) !

Kind Regards,

Peter D.
