I'm running Michelin Radial 165 SR 15s on my TR-3A and am not especially
happy with them. The car skids around any sort of tight turn, especially
up hill. The TR-4A live axle (heavier, but admittedly with stiffer springs
and anti-roll bars) has much wider and lower Pirelli 185/70 SR 15's and
sticks like glue. Not sure what gets the credit.
