Being a digest subscriber, I may be slightly behind the curve, but I don't
understand what all the fuss is about TR6 tire size, since the correct-size
tires are now available at reasonable cost.  These are the Vredestein
185/80s, made in Holland.  I believe they are "S" rated performance tires.
One of our Triumph club members just bought a set from British Wire
Wheel---who also painted on the red lines for him at slightly extra cost.
The tires were about $100 apiece, but you can order them from Tires
Unlimited right off the Internet for under $80 apiece.  (Need I say that I
have no connection to Tires Unlimited?)   http://www.tiresunlimited.com/

Why not use the correct, but more technologically modern tires, on the TR6?
I'm getting ready to order these myself, so if anyone else has any
experience with them, I hope they'll post, pro or con.
