[TR] Tires for TR3. What is best choice?

I've known many TR3 owners have used the Vredesteins. There's also another option but more costly. They're the Pirelli Cinturato which come in the exact TR3 size. I've found them listed by a dealer in England plus there's also a dealer in California. But, the Pirelli's are about twice the price of the Vredesteins.

I have Vredesteins on my TR3A, ditto to everything that Joe said. Best 
price I found was through Summit.

Joe, I just put Vredstein Sporttrac 5s on my TR250. They are a summer 
performance tire, but I was very surprised how quiet and smooth they ride, 
soft rubber I guess, they make a 185/65 and 195/65 15", not exactly stock, 
but not too low of a pprofile. 

Not too spendy either. A little hard to find, but not impossible
