What tires do you use for a sprint?

Nice video demonstration,

It's what I thought after you mentioned it.
Back to front wheel swap before I go anywhere. Thanks again, I
would've overlooked that with all the other things to do.

That is complete bollox! Tubeless tyres will fit the Sprint alloys. 175/70 13 tyres are the original size but 185/60s will fit too. The only issue as Mahesh has pointed out is that the rims may not seal too well. This was one of the reasons why I fitted steel wheels on the 1850.

In 1995/96, I swopped my Triumph Toledo's set of five "original" Cosmic 13 x 5½ inch alloy wheels for a set of GKN 13 x 5½ inch Dolomite Sprint alloy wheels and transferred my Firestone S211, 185/70 R13 tyres.

On the Cosmic wheels, the tyres commonly leaked air, so I had inner tubes fitted, which I also had transferred across onto the Sprint wheels.
