More metrication

Digestives
If I remember correctly, my MG Metro had metric wheels with a "special" bead - 
I guess as discussed here (?315 size).  Replacement cost was about 2x that of 
a standard tyre of comparable dimensions in the early 90's.  There were 3 
choices of manufacturer - Dunlop, Michelin were 2, can't recall the third.

For the curious, find out what an MG Metro was here...
