But don´t forget wartime Britis wheels were 6" wide, while post war British 16" wheels were 6.5" wide just like the wartime US ones. The problem was solved by then.

So: a LR 101 NDMS or Ferret Dunlop Trakgrip Run Flat tyre fits a US wheel and postwar British wheel - but not a British wartime wheel.

Class are we still here?
