levers 195 60 15 racing tires onto the Attitude A but they are a little
balloon like for a daily driver on stock rims. Maybe the 185's would be a
better solution. No experience just postulating.
A friend of mine drives an MGA on a set of Yokohama AVS Intermediate
185-65HR15 tires. They are a nice compromise if you can only afford one
set of tires or don't like changing them every weekend. The AVS seem to be
a step up from normal street tires, but not quite race tires. And they fit
great on the MGA, plenty of room under the fenders. If anyone is
interested, I just happen to have two of these tires with just two minutes
of running time on them, and they're just sitting here looking for a new
home. Could be real cheap.

PS
Best bang for the buck in handling equipment for an MGA is a large front
anti-sway bar. 3/4" diameter works nicely for me. ADDCO bars are about
$95 through J.C. Whitney. Drill 6 holes, less then an hour to install.
