My car has a 3.44:1 FD which gives 4081rpm 70mph real speed.

It would be uneconomical for me to change the wheels to my 10's - as the tires are done for on them. So would have to buy a set.
Luckily my car has 7.5inch cooper disk brakes at the front so If I ever needed to change it would be easy (the 8.4in disks are not compatable with 10's - the 7.5inch disk brake was the smallest ever at the time specifically for the 60's coopers I believe)

I the 8.4" disc and wish I had the smaller one for weight and to go back to 10s. My 13s are way to tall and heavy so I really need to get a set of 12s. Are the 10s 145 tires? If so it would prob be worth a shot to switch them just to do a FE test run.
