Ross, I put Michelin Pilot Sport 4's on my Tuscan vert last year when I also put nitron springs/dampers on and very pleased with the results.
I guess your tyres are still original Goodyear F1s , now 13 years old . As you know I don't track my TVRs , just polish 'em.

Personally, i am waiting for the new Goodyear Eagle Asymmetric 5 to come out. All reviews so far have been very promising and suggest a rival for Michelin

I also put Michelin Pilot Sport 4 on my Sag - the 4'S' varient was not yet available at that time in the size required. Not sure if that has changed now. If it is, I would go for those.

I am a convert to Michelin as their Pilot Super Sports are fantastic on my other car and I've been through a few sets of those - I'd read that the new Sport 4 / 4S was going to replace these and they would stop being manufactured but they are still available and the new BMW M2 Comp comes out of the box on those, though again, they were not available in the Sag size at the time.

Not much point referring to old threads since the situation on tyres is constantly changing !!!

Bit of an exaggeration probably hasn't even been 100 threads in this section in a year never mind just on tyres
