I'll second that.I bought Gillettes from Hendrix also and am extremely
pleased with the look and performance of them. (As usual, no financial
interest BLAH, BLAH).

OK Richard, here is the deal, if Alan recommends a tire you need to listen.
I have put several sets of different tires on different models. ALL
recommended for the car by Alan. Each one has been perfect for that car. I
ask him
about a tire for my BN2 and he recommended Gillette. I bought them and I
like them very much. Yes Jack, I also have a set of Vredestein and I like
them
for the larger Healey.
