Cheers Ken I'm using Vredestein Sprint+ 165 x 15 on both my TR and my Saab 96, I have also a full set of Firestones 155 X 15 in my garage for my Saab Sonett. I used them first on my Saab 96. I think both brands are up to the job. (FYI: Vredesteins are 75 euros a piece, about 60 GBP, Firestone is a bit cheaper) Menno Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Elliott Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 I have the same Vredesteins on my 1958 TR3A and after 16,000 miles, they still look and ride fine. Compared with the tyres I was running before that, I found that the new Vredesteins had a lot more grip on tight turns on dry asphalt curves at a fairly high speed.

kenrobinson Posted June 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Thank you both for the helpful posts.....I went with the Firestones in the end and the car performs beautifully. Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
