Just thought I'd share that I have finally purchased new tires for the 122s.
Got some inexpensive import tires offered through my Cooper dealer in 195/65R-15. They look quite trick if you ask me on the Ford LTD rims I jacked from Pick-yer-Part.

Only issues were minor rubbing of wheel casting information on caliper (little grinder work and two 5mm spacers 'cause I got tired of grinding) and the fact I got a '78 in with three '84 rims. Centers on earlier one painted and milled off (shiny) on later... Can't decide which way I like it better. Earlier wheel has smaller holes so you MUST use tall acorn style nuts (also had only three of those, D'OH).

Anyway, they are on and I'm one happy camper!

Now I need an IPD sway bar for the better grip (picks up that inside rear tire, now).
