You certainly don't want a 50,000 all-season tire, get a 5,000 mile racing tire and have some fun!...my son says I should get the Dunlop CR65 racing tires.
OK, Tiger girls and boys, I've made one for you too (even though this is technically the SAOCA website! )
. I used the red-line of 5800, which if memory serves me is the proper figure for a Tiger (but then I'm old and memory ain't what it once was!).

Jay why not use 175/70/13?Argh. 165/80 now on my car. And no longer available. I like that size. I don't want to go to 185/70 because I don't want the wider look.
That means I am stuck with going to Coker. They have Michelin XAS 165HR13 at $213 a tire.
They also have
640SR13 Michelin ZX
725R13 Michelin X
640/700-13 Vredestein
I believe 600-13 and 650-13 were the two tires for the Alpine.
And those translate to the 165R13 (80 series) and 175R13 (80).
So that seems that all the other options - the ZX, X and Vredestein will all be taller and/or wider. Does anyone know?
For those prices, my son says I should get the Dunlop CR65 racing tires. He may be right. It's only a fair weather drive car now, and it is not getting so many miles that I need to worry about it. I'm likely to hit the age limit of the Dunlops before the wear limit.
Kevin.. A stock MKI tiger had a redline at the heady heights of 4800 and at 5250 they would pull the pressed in rocker studs from the heads...
