There were new Yokohama A-345 205/70R15s on my TR6 when I bought it last
year. I am not particularly impressed. Nothing in particular, just a bit
harsh and a bit slippery in the wet.
A tyre dealer suggested Pirelli P4000s as the best available in that size.
He said that they were fitted to the current Jags. They were about 10 per
cent more expensive than the Yokohamas.
I cannot say from experience that Pirellis would be better, but I would try
them if I could , however I just cannot justify replacing four tyres after
about 4000 miles.
