They left off the early cars! I just sourced Avon Tourists for the Pre A from the UK due to lack of local availability. Maybe they should add that to their manifesto.

No recommendation for 11" wheels in the back? I thought the turbo and wide body cars came with wider wheels?

I'll stick to the non-recommended Sumitomo's I've been running for the past 10 years.
