I personally like the look of the minilite style (bolt or knock-off) by K&N
available from Moss & TRF (about $200 each for the bolt-on). TRF (listed for
TR6) no longer has the nuts for them - so Moss may be a better choice as they
are available there. Although I put the 165SR15 on them they can accommodate
larger/lower profile tires. You can't go too large as the front will rub on
sharp turns. 195's probably as large as you can go. I have no real knowledge
of the tires currently available.

Victoria British may also have them.

I am ready to make my TR3A into a daily driver. To do this I need to purchase a
new set of tires. Also I am considering purchasing after market wheels to give
the car a new look.
What recommendations and observations can you make? My budget is not unlimited
but I can see spending around a $1,000 (likely more). One recommendation was to
purchase a tire made by Yokahoma which has a retro look and profile. My
mechanic could not give me a spec on the tire.... I do not want a tire that
looks too large....
Leads on a supplier and tire sizing would be appreciated.
