Avon 185/70R15 CR6ZZs?

Dean,
Have you looked at what Vredestein has to offer? I use their 165s on my TR4 but they have some wider that may work. I love the tire compound they use. Good ride and handling! Tire rack.

Hi Dean
Those Avon's look the business!
I dont have any experience of them but i can recommend Pirelli Cinturato 185/70 VR15. I run the same size wheel (centre laced) and I consider that they have added to the driving experience, they track well, the steering is nice and precise (for a Peerless!) and give plenty of grip when pushed. They fill the arches well I think look good. my car is a Ph2 with a few modifications in the front arches but they don't foul the bodywork but all cars seem different. Hope that helps.

Indeed the Cinturatos look great. I asked for some more information about the Avons from Longstine and they talked me out of them. Sticky but will pick up rocks like a track tire. They tend to flat stop if not drive frequently and get noisy with wear. I am inquiring about Blockleys cross plys. Period look, street compound and an attractive price. If these are a no-go, then radials will be the solution. I was just hoping for a different driving experience:). I have vredesteins on the Healey 3000 and the Warwick with no complaints.
