Lee,

If you are one of those fast guys like...Chuck Gee, you have the right tire
with a Treadwear Rating of 40. Those of us who are far less fast and still
have our training wheels on, go with the Toyo R888R with a Treadwear Rating
of 100. The Toyo is significantly less expensive and longer lasting, but
slower.

VARA is pretty loose with tire rules compared to other Vintage sanctioning
bodies.

*#35 DP 1962 Triumph TR4*
*1965 Triumph TR4A IRS...for the road!*
