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

[Dan DiBiase]

I have had a couple sets of the Sumi HTR+ tires on my Audi A4 and loved them -
and no issues in the rain or snow (although quattro helps).
Wear isn't the
greatest, though. Seems like I only get 30k miles or so, and that's with
regular maintenance (rotation, proper inflation).

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.

If you're near Menlo Park, CA,
it's the primer red one with chrome wires
