Odd things, tyres. I had a Golf once on Michelin ZXs. The ride and handling compromise was legendry - if was even possible to drift it on a tailing throttle into a wet bend. Worn out, they were replaced with a new set; result, dreadful: harsh ride and violent lift-off oversteer. On short-wheelbase 7s it never seemed to matter what was fitted, it was just as tricky whatever the make: the same all round; an odd mixture of makes; canvas showing through; half-worn; 20 p.s.i. or 35 p.s.i. However, if I had a preference, it might have been for Avon sidecar, they seemed to make the cars just a little more controllable, but that might have just been my imagination, having spent so much on them.
