In 2002, I put Kumho Euro Metric 771 tires on my TR4. (Now it appears that
model is only stocked at Tire Rack in 195-65-14, so I expect it may be
discontinued and that the Kumho Power Star 758 is the tire which superseded
it.) I have had zero problems with the tires. They look and feel pretty much
like what I would expect for stock radials on a stock TR4. They stick well
enough to get me trophies at convention autocrosses. Not going to win any
Solo2 championships.
