[Healeys] Tires

[Mark Schneider]

Listers,

I am shopping for tires for my BJ8.  I have 72 spoke Dayton wire  
wheels, 5"	rims on the car.  I am considering purchasing a set of  
Bridgestone Potenza, model RE960as Pole Position tires.  This tire has  
a  "directional" tread.  I have heard some negative comments regarding  
directional tires on our cars, eg., these tires tend to track groves  
worn in the road bed from studded tires or other heavy uses.  This can  
be serious enough to be aggravating. I am seeking input on the  
experience of other listers.  Thanks for any input.
