Hi Joe,
I actually compiled a survey awhile back on what people were using for tires.?
Then a couple years later I tried to coerce another survey from the list but
this time I received very few responses, certainly not enough to compile into a
representative list.? I did place the results from the original survey on the
triumphowners.com web site listing of my car.? If you go to the site scroll
down to the wheel survey near the bottom.? There are tire results there as well.

I had originally purchased some Yokohama Avid tires in 205/65/15 and was
satisfied with their performance but they wore out very quickly.? This last
time I purchased some Falken Tires ZIEX ZE-912 205/65R15 from discount tire
online.? Bob Danielson gave me the information that Grassroots Motorsports
reviewed them and had good things to say about them.? Other sources on the web
had mostly positive things to say about them including that they would last
longer than 10k miles.? I have not put many miles on them at this point but
have nothing bad to say about them so far.

Subject: [6pack] Still more on tires
Soooooo..
It looks like 215/70-15 is the closest available size to the original
diameter, but I think I detect a preference for 205/70-15 from the listers.
Looking around on the web, I see that there is not a whole lot to choose
from in those sizes (but nothing to choose from in the almost-stock size).
For the folks that are using tires that are currently available (and who
actually like them), what are your recommendations? My car is bone stock.
Thanks
Joe
