Rick Patton also has this same combination on his blown/injected TR6. I think
it is a great look and it suits the TR6 well. I was so taken by this combo
that I took a close up to remind me of what tires he had:

Thanks! This is exactly the kind of input I was looking for and the photo
really helps. Now I just need to fit it all in the budget. Not an easy thing
to prioritize when my race car needs another set of tires... :(

I too run this exact setup (except I have Panasport 16x7 wheels), same tire
size, springs 1 inch less all the way around. I like the way it sits,
cruises, autocrosses and rides. Great all around combination IMHO. I have
16 inch Panasports with 205/55Z/R16 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 tires which are
still available on Tire Rack the last time I checked. Got a couple more a
year or so ago. They are great wet or dry. Had some tire rub on extreme
twists but my car sits twisted on the frame anyhow and always has but I've
never had a tire problem (for about 15,000 plus miles) as a result and I
certainly don't blame the setup for any tire rub. Stan Foster posted a pic of
how my 6 looks with that setup here

Its my moment of fame being in the same picture with Richard Good's TR6
(Richard is the gentleman in the green shirt), and Marty Sukey's legendary
blue TR6 (may it RIP) with his better half Evelyn in the pink blouse talking
on the cell phone.
Shalom to you and yours
