Tyre

Originally fitted with 165R15 tyres (p.104 ‘Original Triumph TR4/4A/5/6’ by Bill Piggott, 1998 edition).
This tyre is now considered narrow for the rim; we would recommend a 185/70R15 would suit the rim width better and retain the same rolling radius.

Tube

Tubeless

The chrome wheels have been tubeless since December 2007; and the silver-painted wheels have been tubeless since April 2008.

If you have the older, tubed wheels or are fitting tube-type tyres you will need 155/165 x 15 tubes – available with metal (race) or rubber (road) valve – and we recommend 15″ rim bands.

Notes

Wheels which are larger than the standard size might not fit into the spare wheel compartment.

Tube

Tubeless

The chrome wheels have been tubeless since June 2006; and the silver-painted wheels have been tubeless since October 2009.

If you have the older, tubed wheels or are fitting tube-type tyres you will need 175/185 x 15 tubes and we recommend 15/16″ rim bands.

Tubeless

This wheel has always been tubeless. Tubes are only required if fitting tube-type tyres.

If you are using tube-type tyres or wish to fit a tube for any other reason then you will need 185-195/65 x 15 tubes and we recommend 15/16″ rim bands.

Notes

Clearance is quite tight - a fitment check is recommended

Clearance is quite tight and the wheel might protrude from the bodywork. A fitment check is recommended.
