Come on give the answer
Its going to be difficult to over heat pads on the road, there is no where to drive fast and brake alot on the road .Green are not recommended for TVR`s they are for lower powered cars .
Red will work well for road use and the odd track day
Yellow create a`lot of dust ,I`m happy with them but they need some heat . From cold they don`t work as well .
Take your pick , Good quality standard pads will be perfect for road use .
You can`t have an all round pad there will be always a compromise.

They look good Mark ... Are they the ones I sent you up?
I just use normal road pads in mine ... for everyday use they work well and the Tiv is light enough that they don't wear much anyway. I replaced my pads a couple of months ago after probably 50,000 miles and four and a half years and they still had *LOADS* of meat left on them...
