Thanks for the compliment, I agree.
The Michelin kind…Which type of Pirelli.
I think that lower front edge of the wheel well may actually be closer than the rear. When I was running 185/70-13s on mine, I had to "adjust" that lower front edge of the wheel well for clearance (and flatten the lip all around). I'm pretty sure that the caster was OK at the time.The Michelin kind…
It’s on the side of the tire
On a more serious note it looks like the caster is off with the wheels so far forward in the wheel openings.
now on a larger device I can see they are Defenders. No longer available, unfortunately. A great tire.The Michelin kind…

They are Michelin Defender 175/70TR13 which I got 3 years ago from Discount Tire Direct in Arizona. They still might be available at Pep Boys...The P.O. Installed the suspension setup. It has KYB shocks, with red coil springs. The tires are Perelli 175/70 13.

Please give your impressions of the Pirellis when you have some miles on them. I have an ancient set of Bridgestones in 175/70r13I replaced the Defender tires with Pirelli Cinturato’s 175;70/13”. From Lucas tire
The Defender’s, were nice for normal driving. But I have been doing a bit of Autocross events lately.
Thanks, that would be great. That is one tidy Triumph!Dave I have the same tires on my 1972 Triumph GT6, that is hot roded with performance Triumphtune parts.
I have done a few Autocross with them on the car. And a bit of road driving. The tires feel very good and responsive.
I will have my X1/9 at a Autocross event next weekend, same event as before with the Defender tires.
So I can give you a direct compression then.View attachment 55395View attachment 55396
