[Mgs] What kind of tires are people putting on MGBs now

[Max Heim]

Ditto on the Sumitomos. They were only $58 each on Tire Rack, and they are
the grippiest rubber I ever had on my MG (not saying much, I suppose,
comparing them to Vredesteins and Michelin rain tires).

Scray in the rain, though. But great summer tires.
