I use the Dunlops on my '74 MGB-GT. I'm satisfied with the good handling, soft
and quiet ride they provide. They are good wet or dry, even in the one snow
storm
that surprised me (NO SALT!).
Someone who does web sites should set up an MG tire database for the list that
would cover T's, A's, B's, Midgets and even saloons and sedans.
