[Healeys] Source Wheels and Tires Question

[randerson33 at triad.rr.com]

Steve,

Both Tires are excellant, just how much you want to spend. Kumho is T rated and
Vredestein are H rated. Tread wear Vredestein 140, Kumho 240. 

Verdestein is a soft sticky tire good for auto cross and hwy. driving. Kumho is a road tire. 

I am running xzx's on my BN4 that need replacing. I am going with Kumho's.
