In 2002, I put onto the TR4 185-60 Kumho tires from Tire Rack.  They balanced up fine on the new Dayton 60-spokes.  I have picked up a couple of trophies at vintage autocrosses and had the fastest time of day at a small autocross at the Lake Superior Vintage Sports Car Rendezvous.  They are certainly good enough to use.
