Quick question. What tyres are people recommending for 3.5" S rims?

Camcas are a nice not to modern looking tread pattern. I can't speak for they're performance though as they were fitted to a customers car.

I ran 145s on ASBO for a while. Camac 145s were good tyres. The best.
They don't drift like crossplies though!

I used to do about 30 miles a day in ASBO. Fronts would last 10 days.

When I was 17 I remember knocking out the Dunlop C41 tyres on the front of my mum's new Riley Elf in under 1000 miles - got a bit of a bollocking from my dad!
