One thing to consider is compound. I had my MG out in the rain and the
tires that are on the Midget are like greased ice in the rain. It was
way, way, way too easy to slide up to all of the light and stop. Not
sure of the brand I will check later. For now I will call the brand
"Skidmore", cause that is what they do best.
These tires have plenty of tread, and I expect they will last about a
million miles since they are so hard.
One other question, who makes a good tire that sticks in the rain for
these cars? On my toyota I ran both Perrilli (sp) SV 6000 and Yokohama
Agis and they both work very well in the rain.
