It would be interesting to know the actual dimensions of the Michelins that Howard sells. Back in the 1960s I ran a pair of Michelin 4.00x17s on my Opal, but they were desperately under-sized, I wouldn't have liked to run them on the back of the car.

Not a very good shot, but compare the overall diameter (from memory the width was less than the 3.50x19s I had on my RK) with the period shot of a new Ruby:
