My Ace Bristol has the optional 15" wheels, and 6.40-15 tires. I see that Michelin makes a 180HR-15, with the XAS tread pattern. According to Michelin's specs, the tire is 6.90" wide, which is about 0.50" wider than my 6.40-15.
There is less than 0.50" clearance between my rear tires and the inside vertical aluminum panels, when measured statically. So I have no idea how small the clearance when running.
Does anyone have experience with these 180HR-15 Michelins, and is there a rear clearance problem? (If you have 16" wheels, Michelin sells a 175/80-16, which is listed as having the same width as their 180HR-15).
