I use Townfair Tire up here in the NE. They have a good selection of 13"
tires that range from pizza cutters to 60 series. Myself I run 175/70 on
the front and 205/60 on the rear of stock steel wheels.

I just got: 
KUMHO SOLUS TA11
185/70R13 on all 4 corners

I have a stock tiger with LAT-70 repro wheels. They look right on those rims on the car. Ride and handling is pretty good for all season tires.

One thing I've been curious about is the disclaimer that the Toyo Proxes
R888r are for "racetrack and autocross only".
Does usage of these tires on normal quality roads present a safety issue?

Well, first let me point out that even the WORST tire today is better than the BEST tire when these cars were new.

So, yes in a way they are dangerous for the road for two reason:
(1) They are not as good for wet or dusty roads;
(2) The put strain on suspension components that the components were not designed for.  So that will accelerate damage.  And the Tigers, with their Ackermann issue are prone to breaking the bar that holds the A arms on.  That?s not a good thing to happen on the road - can definitely result in ?serious bodily injury or death.?

The R888 is an R-comp, but has full tread, works fine in the rain and provides good grip. I wish they still made the RA1 in 13" sizes, better tire all around and would be my first choice for 13's.

One thing I've been curious about is the disclaimer that the?Toyo Proxes R888r are for "racetrack and autocross only".Does usage of these tires on normal quality roads present a safety issue?

The response suggests that the tires can be used on a normal quality paved
road without danger of unprovoked blowout or near zero resistance to
puncture.  Correct?

I used BFG 235R50-13' TA Radials on my Tiger before they aged out without
any danger to the lower a-arm pivot bars.

I would suggest that there was danger to the pivot bars - and probably further weakening.  It's just that they didn?t break while the tires were on the car.  :-)

I don?t know about other dangers.  For example, are road tires designed to be more puncture resistant because roads are apt to have more sharp objects?  Are road tires designed to stand up to harsher shock if they hit a pot hole?  Is the lifespan of the R888rs so short on the road that a driver may not be cognizant of how far they have degraded with a ?normal? road use?

Like I said, I don?t know the answers to these questions.  I?m also of the opinion that companies have to put on warnings simply because their attorneys tell them to.  So here, where the tires are designed for a specific purpose and conditions, and they don?t give any attention to road hazards, they simply may not know the answer.  Thus the warning.

I'm sorry. I made a slight  error when I said the Tiger was stock, I meant
eng wise.  Tires an wheels are not. Right now I'm running 15" panasports,
and had my rear springs rearched to raise the car app 2 1/2 inches.
Now its time to replace the tires, running Kumos right now,  there getting
old.  Beau

The R888 is not going to be more prone to puncture than any other lower TW rated tire. The R-comp "not suitable for highway use" disclaimer is mandated, but not all R-comps are the same. e.g. Would I use Hoosier A7's on the street? Nope, they're basically slicks and soft as hell. But, the treaded R-comps I've never shied away from, whether RA1, R888, Victoracer etc etc and have never had a problem, This is on many cars, not just my Tiger.
They will wear much faster, they will not have the same type of siping capability of a true all weather street tire and they will likely bring more impact harshness to the table. But, first time you commit to a turn at a "spirited" rate of speed, you'll appreciate the grip :)
Agree on the increased loads to suspension components. Make sure everything is in good shape, especially bushings and bearings.

I don?t know about other dangers. ?For example, are road tires designed to be more puncture resistant because roads are apt to have more sharp objects? ?Are road tires designed to stand up to harsher shock if they hit a pot hole? ?Is the lifespan of the R888rs so short on the road that a driver may not be cognizant of how far they have degraded with a ?normal? road use?
Like I said, I don?t know the answers to these questions. ?I?m also of the opinion that companies have to put on warnings simply because their attorneys tell them to. ?So here, where the tires are designed for a specific purpose and conditions, and they don?t give any attention to road hazards, they simply may not know the answer. ?Thus the warning.

You know, if your driving style, suspension condition and/or tire choices are such that you are worried about the condition of the lower fulcrum pins, then you should probably replace them and maybe consider one of the various means of reinforcing the lower control arm mounts. There are few other pieces on your 55 year old car that are more critical to it continuing to go down the road in the direction you want.

I would suggest that there was danger to the pivot bars - and probably further weakening. It's just that they didn?t break while the tires were on the car. :-)

I think the closest for original wheels that are a reasonable price and
"almost" the correct width whitewall stripe are the maxxis MA1 165/80/13s.
A few friends have fitted these to their tigers and apines and find them a
decent tyre for normal road use.

You are right Michael, the 165/80. 13s are decent enough.  If you are very
lucky you may be able to find a left over set of Firestone FR 480s
whitewalls.
