That was yours truly. I probably should stay out of it, as I'm not a TR6
owner. However, for really enjoying your car, just as there are better
tires nowadays for a Spitfire Mk.3 than 5.20 x 13 "cross-ply Dunlop Gold
Seals, there are better tires available for the TR6 beyond the Michelin
redlines. The other tires, though, don't have the "look."
YMMV, and I'll shut up now about TR6 tires,
