MGB tyres

[mgtony]

Who's running what tyres on their B? Currently got 165's on which although have plenty of tread, are getting a bit old.
185/70's seem to be the current equivelent, I did have 185/65's on my last car which run ok.
Any preference on makes? They're going on minilite style alloys, not too bothered about traditional tread pattern. Avons and Uniroyals seem to get good ratings.

I've just worked out the date of manufacture for the existing tyres
This has now become a priority.

The reviews of the these Uniroyals come in pretty well:

Should I go for the slightly smaller profile of 65 rather than the 70's?

Can't seem to find A-drives in 185/70's ??

Thanks for the advice, Avons seem to get mixed reviews. Not sure whether to order them in or head to the tyre place at the weekend and see what they've got.
