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.
