Listers,

Happy New Year.

I would appreciate any input on replacing TR4A WW 
and tires with same from a TR6. My car has quite a 
"squat" under acceleration (which I like to hallucinate
is due to it's power and not a worn rear end), and 
potentially ruining the tires and fenders is my primary 
concern. 
Anyone have any opinions/ experience?

Thanks,
Scott
