- I'm new to this list (just bought my TR6 last summer, and have been learning about it) and have a question about replacement tires. I think I saw someone post their experience with modern tires recen

- George, it's a classic trade-off you're looking at. Many people including myself think that the Michelin Redline tires give the best look for a TR6, but the drawbacks are several. Aside from looking

- You don't have to give up redlines to get good tires. Get yourself a copy of the catalogs from British Wire Wheel (800-732-9866) and Coker Tire (800-251-6336). They are experts in tires for classic

- I just put four 205/70 15 Michelin X Radial Plus tires on my car. The tires were about $100 per corner installed -- at Costco. I had Michelin Redlines as well, not very worn but the rubber was old.

- FWIW, British Wire Wheel will also Redline tires they don't sell. I had some Pirelli P4000's that I bought from tirerack.com drop shipped to BWW and he redlined them (at his normal rate) and then shi

- A bit over a year ago, I did the same thing with a set of 205/70/VR15 all-season Pirelli P4000's, replacing a set of old redlines. The price was just over $120/corner and the car is absolutely transf
