I've found them to pretty much suck out loud. I never spent enough time on
them to get used to them, but I'm not certain I could. I tried the 50 series
at the Mitty--that was an un-mitty-gated disaster, I didn't have enough
ground clearance. I've also tried the tall ones--I think they're about 70
series--as loaners from a fried because I thought the 50 series stuck pretty
well. These had about four or five heat cycles on them and felt about like
the time I broke a panhard mount. I literally thought there must be
something wrong with the car. It was fine until I pushed them and then I got
a kind of stick-slip-stick thing going in all the fast corners. Didn't find
it amusing.

Subject: [MGVR] Tire
Been talk of tires for 15-inch wheels on both lists (TR2-3 and MGA). When my
last set of Goodrich Comp TAs finally started to look like slicks, I bit the
bullet and bought new tires. Talking back and forth between CSRG and HMSA,
my choices narrowed down to Dunlops, Avon radials (can't quote the type on
either one), and "Goodyear 5.00x15 Blue Streak Sports Car Specials." Given
the price of the Dunlops, and the strong intimation that my applications for
HMSA would be looked upon with more favor if I was running bias-plies, I
opted for the Blue Streaks. Have only had one weekend on them, and I must
say they were fun, but the car wasn't running reliably enough to get any
solid lap times.
No one's mentioned these as a possibility -- comments?
Cheers
Gary
