Default 16 inch tyres.

I have run my Bristol for a few years now on Michelin X’s which transformed the comfort on my 407 and grip, but made parking an horrendous job with no Power Steering. The Avon Turbo speeds were fine but tramlined and a bit hard.
I fitted electric power steering, reversible of course, and now have a lovely long distance tourer. X’s were available in 1962 but not offered as an alternative by Bristol Cars.
