I just bought a replacement Vredestein for my Jag Mk2 and learned that the
Sprint Classic is now the name for what had been the Sprint ST or Sprint GT
(can't tell which from the graphics on the sidewall of the old tire). In all
other
respects, the Sprint Classic is identical with the GT, including the band of
tread on the sidewall. I've had the tires on my Jag for about five years
now, and have been very pleased with their performance.
Cheers
