I put the Dunlop SP4s on my TD a dozen years ago and they've worked fine. My
only disappointment is where they were made. I chose Dunlop for British
authenticity, but after they were mounted I saw that they were "Made in
Japan." So I've got Japanese tires and a Harley mirror on my classic British
sportscar.

I've had SP4's (similar to the SP20) on the TD for several years. These are
the first radials I've had on the car, so I can't compare them to anything
else, but I'd never go back. I have over 20,000 miles on the current set
with no sign of wear. They hold the road well, although they are a bit
small, so the RPMs are higher than they would be with a larger (taller)
tire.
I also have similar Dunlops on my MGA, my J2, and my Jeep (obviously not all
the same size). Same report for all vehicles.
Regards,
Lew Palmer

Hello all,
I'm putting new tires on the TF. Most of the big name brands no longer make
the proper size but Dunlop makes the SP20 in a 165 x 15. Does anyone have
these tires of their TD/TF? If so how are they (not that I have much
choice.)
