Be careful with the Vredesteins. They have a history of small defects in 
the plies of some tires, resulting in small bumps in the sides and 
balancing problems/vibrations which in general can only be solved by 
replacing the tire. In particular the Triumph TR4/5/6 was sensitive to 
this. These are the tires that were made in the Netherlands. Nowadays 
these tires are manufactured in India I believe, perhaps that may have 
improved matters???? Somehow I think that is unlikely.
Go for a tire from one of the large EU manufacturers like Michelin, 
Pirelly, Dunlop etc. Alternative could be Toyo.
