BT,
One of the MGs that I bought had a pair of these on
wire wheels when I got it. After several weeks, I
ended up putting these tires on new Mini-lites, and I
bought another pair of them to make a complete set. I
had never heard of them, but they seemed alright. Now
3 years and about 40k later, they still look brand
new! They ride very well, stick like glue even though
they are 185/70r14s (being on the MG probably helps,
too!) They are very easy to balance taking little or
no weight (on two of my minilites, they required no
weight!). Granted, the MG only weighs 2400 and
change, but for a no-name tire at a decent price
($60-ish for 2 mounted and balanced), they simply
can't be beat, in this application, at least. I would
seriously consider buying another set of them,
especially if they are still pretty cheap.
Regards,
Ben Pender
