Have some worn Excelsior and Armstrong tyres in the garage used on the front in the past - they have profiles somewhere between the tall and thin Waymaster and
lower and broader Longstone.
With Longstones on the rear, it is noticeable that the engine is revving a bit higher to achieve a given speed than with the old 4.50 x 17s.
The rolling resistance when cold seems a bit higher - can't push the car along as easy as when the old Firestones were on the rear. Running the Longstones at 25psi, against the Firestones at 22psi.
