    Do a Bobby Charlton and comb some of the good tread over from the sides.

                  Exceptionally small and narrow by modern standards - unless fitted to a no-contractor style motor :-)

                  The only ones on that list I'd avoid are the Pirellis, they were 250+ a tyre for my Jag and they were total crap, noisy and wore unevenly in spite of having all new suspension and alignment.

                  Have had Michelins and Contis with no problems - I reckon the others are all fine - and 100% brownie points for not getting the hedgefinders most people seem quite happy to fit these days.
