If you can convince the judge of that then you're hired!!!

Officer: "Do you have any idea how fast you were going?"

Me: "According to my speedometer, somewhere between 20 and 80."

I got pulled by the traffic police many years ago for speeding. I wound down my window and the officer lent in and said "Having trouble getting airborne are we Wing Commander?"

I thought that was a brilliant line.

I attended an AC Owners club meet last summer and spoke to a ot of guys with IVs, most had avons fitted. the consensus seemed to be that 245s at the front could make the steering pretty heavy, so 225 and 275 represents a good combination for nice road manners, albeit not entirely authentic.

Kevin -
I think you are spot on about the front tire sizes. I put 225s on 1061 my first set of Avons, as the 245s were not in stock at the time. The following 2 sets have been 245s. (295 rears on all 3 sets.) Parking and slow speed manners are better with the 225s. High speed handling, cornering and general track performance is better with the 245s. Depends on what kind of driving the OP will be doing as to which would be optimal, though either 225 or 245 are better than anything else he could mount in a street legal 15" radial.
