[TR] TR3 Tires

[TeriAnn J. Wakeman]

Until my last tyre change made when money was very tight, I ran Michelin 
XAS tyres on my TR3.  They are pricey but they have the best cornering 
capabilities of any tyre I have used.

Whitewalls on a 3?  I can see whitewalls on a Mayflower or a Triumph 
Roadster.
