Just purchased a pair of 235/48/18 for the front of my Tuscan
The spec is a good all rounder etc.
not too hard or too soft on the compound .. Feel just right
Ohh and the price ... £48 each !!!
Think the 255 are about another £10 each !
Good reviews / so will make my mind up if to buy 2 rears after 500 miles or so ..
If they tick the box ...
Shame not any 15 or 16" sizes for the Tvr
But good for the T cars ( no 225/35/18 )
Bridgestone comparison ....

Hmm if I had a TVR service centre I'm not sure I'd be advocating the use of budget tyres, be it these Zenises tyres or any other like Nangkang "no grips". Tuscans are pretty sensitive to tyre choice, I've just fitted R1R's all round and the difference in grip and confidence they inspire is night and day.... Handles like a normal car.
It had Cooper Zeons on it from when purchased which were similar cheapo tyres. Might aswell use wood

Yeah I was trying to go for the porker look as I know how much they are adored on the TVR pages. If I get time I'll fit them to the car tomorrow and take some pics. Even if people don't agree with the styling, there's no arguing these bad boys will stick to the road like the proverbial droppings to a blanket.
I'm gobsmacked why people take such risks on any car let alone a TVR. It doesn't matter whether you've got carbon brakes, fairy dust dampers or diamond tipped caliper pistons, the ONLY thing holding you to the road is around 100 sq in's of rubber. I wouldn't put £50 tyres on my 69hp Fiat 500. I do hope the OP is winding us up.
Tyres seem to be like fuel price, the human race is generally obsessed with saving pennies whilst it sp**ks pounds away all over the place on other far less important things.

Could be worse ... Branded tyres , under inflated , 6 yr old plus +++
Car not set up . It goes on and on with car set up ....
Hated the Goodyear f1 to start with , soft side wall , but after a fair bit of mileage not bad ..
Ohh seen a few sets split all round on the goodyear, less than a year old !
Do like the Soo1 Bridgestone on the branded front

Good answer... But it's not the right answer. These tyres come from the same chaps that produce that superb ditch finder. The Linglong.
There's a clue in the name that suggests it's not from the Middle East
