"...standard econobox tires today are infinitely
superior to the tires the car was designed around in
1962, and vastly superior to the OEM tires of 1980."
I couldn't agree more. Call me crazy, but on a street
car like the MGB, I PREFER a tire with a little less
grip. It allows you to have some fun with the car
without going nuts. You can slide it around and toss
it around without obscenely shattering the speed
limits everywhere. Plus, they keep the car from
having that heavy, "over tired" feel and they reduce
the twisting and cowl shake of the chassis.
But then again, I'm not normal...
