I put the Dunlop SP40's on both my MGB and MGA and they are super.  The price 
is right and as Carl says they are more original than anything else.

You have a few options depending on what you want. If you wish to keep the 
older 165 size for originality and vintage look then you can get Kumho and the 
Vredsteins at Talon Tire in Canada for less. The Kumho 758 is available for $61 
each (USD). If you do not care about the size and want something that will 
fit your original tire size (155/80/14) then the 175/70/14 will be a perfect 
fit 
but the 185 fits just as well with no rubbing and the speedo diff is 
negligable. Many places, the Tire Rack being the one mentioned the most offers 
good 
tires for the $40 plus range. this has been a topic of discussion on the MGB 
Experience BBS this week. It was found that Sam's has a Dunlop SP40 185/70 S14 
for $36. This way you can still have authentic Dunlops on your Brit car.
