Re: Austin Seven Tyre Size

I had my last Ruby for 38 years and always used 4.50-17, but finally I bought two 4.00-17 for the front. It was transformed: the steering was comfortably light compared with using the larger section tyres. If you use 4.50 on the back you raise the effective gearing slightly, which is fine, but 4.00 on the front are definitely better.
