Long Door Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Does anyone have experience with these tyres , half the price of classic sprints ? Keith Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Excellent product Peter W Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TwinCamJohn Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 I was anticipating replacing my tyres with the Classic. What is the difference apart from the price ? The car is used for rallyes rather than just touring. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndyR100 Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 I have them on my 4..... they work really well and, as you say, half the price of Sprints. The downside is that the side-wall doesn’t look as nice .... but I prefer the extra pennies in my pocket (or in the fuel tank!) .......Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 As you may know, unless you have a shell with the later raised section boot floor your 165 tyre may or may not go in the spare wheel hole when inflated. Peter W Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ian Vincent Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 I replaced all my tyres with Trac 2s a few months ago. The sidewalks seem quite soft but that’s about my only criticism. They provide loads of grip even in the wet. Can’t comment on their durability because they are too new. Excellent value for money. Rgds Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MilesA Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 +1 but as Andy says, the sidewalls are rather modern if that worries you. Miles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foster461 Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 I have them on my TR3a, they may not be the best looking tire on a TR3 but they dont look horrible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
j-eichert Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 (edited) I use them too for some years now - they provide grip on dry as well as on wet Surface. The grip level of my TR3A could be better - but this should be blamed on the Suspension, not on the tyres. They were a great improvement over the Firestones I was using beforehand Durabilty may be OK - I Change them for age, not for wear. Due to our last trips & some Trouble in the front suspension, I suffered stron wear on the outside shoulders of the front tyres - the wear on the rear is quite low. So with normal driving & Setup they should last some 20k miles Regards, Johannes Edited July 15, 2019 by j-eichert additional info Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foster461 Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 These are 165x15 T-trac on my TR3. For the most part the lettering on the sidewall disappears unless the tire is illuminated in a particular way. I tried to find a picture that shows the sidewalls.

Rodbr Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Have Michelin XAS on my wires but for the winter i fitted these to my Knock-on Tinilites and they are a revelation. Like them a lot and the sidewall look while not a classic look is not too bad. As a tyre, great do not walk the walk on the tread the way XAS seem to. I like them on my 3A.

iain Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 I have just completed the LBL rally on T-Trac2's. Great in the wet and dry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Freer Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 ....and congratulations on doing so! I'm about to get a set for Geoffrey (once he's returned from you know where!!). I have original T-tracs on at the moment but despite excellent tread depth they're 11 years old. I don't fancy doing the 10CR in hard rubber! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TwinCamJohn Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Thanks Iain. Don't do Facebook, but managed to see some pics. Looks good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Long Door Posted July 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Looks like its T-Trac 2 for me with all the positive comments , thanks you all. Keith Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ian Vincent Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 I was on the same LBL rally as Iain. I can confirm that T Tracs are excellent in the wet as borne out by the attached picture. Rgds Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ianc Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) Super action shot - why not send to Wayne for TR Action. IMHO, action shots are much more interesting than rows of parked TRs. Ian Cornish Edited July 28, 2019 by ianc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iain Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 Hi Ian Wayne as with us on the trip and I suspect there will be some great shots appear in Traction. Lots of fun was had by all! Iain Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IMHO, action shots are much more interesting than rows of parked TRs. Ian Cornish I agree. I've seen nice ones, but where the shot is a series of front bumpers only or of tail lights clustered in close up with a 300mm zoom lens or similar. All depends on the time and patience and light. Unusual to spend the time it takes, say an hour or so and lots of good will, to make a good shot. Acrmtion shots are easier Quote Link to post Share on other sites
