Thanks for the leg work, Andy. Several listers have recommended Kumhos.
Sounds like a good street and autocross tire for the stock size. For my
TR4 I personally liked the retro look and tread pattern of the Dunlops,
and the Coopers are reasonably close. Retro aside, the Kumhos are a
great value and widely available.
There's also an "off-brand" tire called the Arizonian that's fairly cheap.
