 Hi Joe,

I actually compiled a survey awhile back on what people were using for tires.? Then a couple years later I tried to coerce another survey from the list but this time I received very few responses, certainly not enough to compile into a representative list.? I did place the results from the original survey on the triumphowners.com web site listing of my car.? If you go to the site scroll down to the wheel survey near the bottom.? There are tire results there as well.

I had originally purchased some Yokohama Avid tires in 205/65/15 and was satisfied with their performance but they wore out very quickly.? This last time I purchased some Falken Tires ZIEX ZE-912 205/65R15 from discount tire online.? Bob Danielson gave me the information that Grassroots Motorsports reviewed them and had good things to say about them.? Other sources on the web had mostly positive things to say about them including that they would last longer than 10k miles.? I have not put many miles on them at this point but have nothing bad to say about them so far.

Soooooo.. 

It looks like 215/70-15 is the closest available size to the original
diameter, but I think I detect a preference for 205/70-15 from the listers.
Looking around on the web, I see that there is not a whole lot to choose
from in those sizes (but nothing to choose from in the almost-stock size).
For the folks that are using tires that are currently available (and who
actually like them), what are your recommendations? My car is bone stock.

Thanks

Joe
