Several of us run these T-Tracs on our 4/4a and they are a really good tyre. However they are T speed rated and I don't think Vredestein make them in the correct H speed rate for the TR6

Dave

Does the speed rating matter that much if i'm not going to go over 118mph? Looking to put my TR6 back to original size but can't bring myself to pay silly money. I'll replace my two 195 perished tyres with the same size if I can't find a reasonably priced 165 alternative.

I agree. Most insurers here have consigned the tire speed rating requirement to history. All available tires would easily meet our 110kmh speed limit. In Australia you would have more significant problems with your insurer than your tires if you had an accident at 118mph.

I use these, H rated 165's with a classic tread pattern similar to a Michelin XVS.

I use those as well but in 185 size as mine is an ex US car. They seem pretty good and reasonably priced as well.

I've found them quite hard to get hold of though and bought the last one from a classic Citroen specialist.

Yep I have them too for a car currently in the workshop, had to get them from Germany though.

Talk to your insurance company first before deciding. Personally I always run the highest speed rating I can find in the relevant size.

No I only bought the car last year and noticed slight cracking in the side wall a few weeks later. Do you re=boot in new Michelin at £1000 every five years? 

No Verdstein T-Trak 2 at about 40 quid a corner. My XKR will probably need tyres before 5 years.

Is that on a TR6 Dave? Are they ok as that is what I'm thinking of replacing mine with?

I find them really good wet or dry. Cheap as chips too.
