FWIW, I have Vredestein "Sprints" on my TR3A. 165R15. No idea where they
came from, how old they are or who sells them now (if anyone). I don't
normally drive the car hard, but on a number of occasions, I've managed,
rather easily, to spin the rears when cornering - especially on the couple
of times I've been in a hurry to get home when I got caught in the rain!
Same on dry pavement, just a little harder to make 'em do it.
Anyone have an opinion of the Dunlop SP-20?
