MG YB Tyres
1953 MG YB
MG YB 1951–1953
- The MG YB differs to the rest of the MG Y-Types that fitted 525x16 wheels by opting for 15" wheels instead, this makes them suited to a 560 - 15 Tyres.
- In this unusual size Longstone can supply a 5.50 x 15 Excelsior.
- The YB ran tube-type wheels throughout production, innertubes are required for these wheels. For these tyres the Michelin 15E is the ideal innertube.
History of the MG YB
The MG YB was an improvement of the Y-Type, built from 1951-1953. Dropping down to 15" wheels and fitting a hypoid type of back axle and a anti-roll bar coupled with improved shocks & dampners, the YB was the best handling of the MG Y-Type series.
