Please give some of the credit to your excellent choice of tire. The
Pirelli P600 is an exceptional tire for our LBCs. The handling is
neutral and traction is very good up to the limit then it gives
gradually. This is an 'H' rated, 130 MPH tire. No, your not going to go
130 but you'll know the tire will take a lot of abuse without
overheating.
The only real downside is the smallest size for a MGB would be
185/65x14. The TireRack will mail order these for $54 a peice and the
195/60 is only $1 more.
The predecessor to the P600 was the P6. I've had the P6s on a Midget in
175/70 and currently have P6s on the C/GT. I've about worn them out and
am looking forward to P600s for the next set.
