Although in a slightly different context I am finding that Pirellis
suffer quite badly after a while, on the walls in particular, after long
runs in upper 20s - 40C, although they are manufacturer-specified on my
non-Healey daily driver. The first set I got had to be replaced after
less than half their anticipated life.
I gather that a lot of people prefer the Michelin option to the Pirellis
for my car. The walls seem, in general, to be more robust.
Just to be clear I am not talking of a Healey here. On that I run mostly
Vredensteins. I have heard good things about Yokos on Healeys, too.
Though clearly not OE. :-)
2p, FWIW
