Few people responded on-list last time because of the Geo Hahn effect. 
If list member Geo buys a brand of tires in a particular size -- usually 
165R15 -- they are immediately discontinued. This has happened with too 
many good brands, causing a crisis for Triumph and classic VW owners 
alike. (All I'm saying is if you like Kumho Power Stars, buy a spare set 
now.) Anyway, as a result few list members mention tire brands on 
triumphs at autox.team.net, though you can find a good discussion of tire 
alternatives at triumphs-except-geo-hahn at autox.team.net.
