[TR] TR3 Tires

Fred Thomas had white walls on his TR3.  Really wide white walls.  Along with the fender skirts it looked really awesome.

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.

Had Nankangs               on my Last two              TR3s, very satisfied.  One              set went to Diamondback and had Whitewalls put on them.

Bill,

I’ve had Firestone                      F560 165SR15’s on my TR4A on painted 60 spoke                      Dayton wheels with Michelin tubes for about 5                      years now.  

I use the same tire                      but in the 155SR15 as a spare on my ’56 TR3 as the                      165 doesn’t fit the spare compartment (I’m running                      Coker 165SR15 wide whites on the corners).  The                      TR3 uses Dayton chrome 48 spoke wheels with                      Michelin tubes.  

Coker has the 165SR15                      for $80.  Check out: https://www.cokertire.com/firestone-f560.html

I’ve been very happy                      with both the look and driveability of these                      tires.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Brian
