Default Dont Fit?

He is suggesting that it is not only the bead angle but also the width of the tyres measured between the beads. I am in no position to confirm these reports, but has anyone actually fitted these tyres yet to a war-time rim.
Yes. Today at the barn, we fitted one of the new tyres to a Brit Rim. It was snug and there is a small gap between the outer flange of the rim and the side of the tire - no more than the Michelins we've seen mounted on other CMP rims here in the colonies.
