Thanks all.
Eric - I didn't realise the BGT had larger tyres than the roadster - I
wonder why that was?? They both used the same size rims, didn't they (at
least for the same model year)?
I'll check on availability and prices, but I think I'll just go with the
original size (or closest to it), which seems to be 165/80 14's. Paul, I'll
check out the Sumitomos and Kumhos, if those have worked well for list
members in the past. Don't think that Kumho is a widely available brand in
the UK, but Sumitomo should be fairly easily available.
I can get good prices on tyres at Costco, but they only seem to sell
Michelin Energy tyres - from the name I assume these are biased towards
getting improved mpg, which would imply quite a hard tyre I suppose? I'm
not too fussed about mpg with the miles I'll be doing (even in this era of
close to #1/litre!), so that may not be the sort of compromise that suits
me.
