The Goodyear was the "standard equipment" tire; I believe it was the
G800 model or similar. The Michelin was the "optional equipment" tire.
Neither is a terribly exciting tire unless your primary goal is Concours
judging. It's just that the Michelins pretty much have been available
all these years that they have become "The Standard" for the TR6. I
think the Goodyears went out of production many years ago.
