These are an excellent, long wearing, all-season tire. They will probably
outlast the GT6+ (good for 80K miles). The price you are quoted is good,
assuming the price includes valve stems, mounting, and balancing.
I have used these tires on my various Ford Tauruses, and they provide
excellent traction whether dry, rain, or snow. They have decent breakaway
characteristics, and squeal only when pushed right to the limit, very
unlike my TR6 with the Michelin X Redlines.
However, for a Triumph, assuming it isn't driven in the snow, I'd be
inclined to go for a performance tire with even better "dry stick" and
sacrifice off some of the long-wearing capability. This will allow you to,
well, exercise your GT6's suspension a little more fully... :-) :-)
