Tim Your point about 205/60 x 15 tyres is well made. I too have a real issue on this , not with speed bumps (yet!) but with the sill of my garage onto the pavement where I need the 2 plank method to get over it on 60 profile tyres.
I have looked long and hard and just cannot find anything to compare with Toyo Proxes TR-1. The closest I have come is the Yokohama A538 which is used on the Smart Roadster, but although better than the C-Drive, Avons or other options. I have even considered buying a set of 16 inch rims (Minilites) so that I can use the Toyo Proxes in 205/55 x 16 which will give approx the same ground clearance, I would rather not take this (expensive) step if possible. Does anyone else have any experience of 15 inch 60 profile tyres that suit Morgans in general or the +8 in particular.

I fitted a set this time last year on my Plus 8, and the difference in the wet from the Pirelli "ditch-finders" is tremendous. But I lose something like 4/10 inch in ground clearance due to the move from 205/60 to 205/55. Quite obviously I used to be within 4/10" of quite a few speed bumps, including one on my shared driveway. I now keep two pieces of plank at that bump just to get the chassis cross-member over it. > >So, question for anyone, next time round, is there anything which is available in 205/60 that offers anything like the Toyo Proxes' wet performance? I'd trade some of it in to get my ground clearance back. > >Or what about 195/65? Fractionally more ground clearance than the original, but obviously not the same in extremis dry grip.

The whole idea of the Club Car Trials is that you can drive a standard model without ANY modification.
