Listers,
I have 185 Vredesteins on my three and they are available at 175 and I would think they would better.
CHEERS

Coopers seem to a good bargain tire. I've had good experience with
them om several of my cars that don't get high mileage.

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:

I've been very happy with both the look and driveability of these tires.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Brian

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.

I'm running 205/60 Goodyear Eagle GTs on Panosport wheels on my TR3A. Love the stance of the car and the handling.

Yep, many of the TR3 print adds had whitewall tires. Probably the "hot"
bling of the time.:-)
I'm not crazy about them but if you wanted to match your car and the ad.....
