Choosing Tyres for a TVR Vehicle
TVR is a car brand that operates in the sports car market. It does not produce everyday vehicles for commuting and family life – rather, its vehicles are aerodynamic, efficient, and boast excellent performance across speed and handling.
Many of the TVR vehicles have earned themselves a cult following, which makes the classic cars and vintage models just as popular as the innovative and well-crafted modern vehicles. Cars like the TVR Cerbera, the TVR Tuscan, and the TVR Chimaera are all different in design and build and boast the unique heritage that puts the brand near the forefront of the sports car manufacturing industry.
TVR vehicles are, to drivers, lightweight and superior in terms of their handling, with a fibreglass body contributing to the easy cornering and handling, and to the aesthetic prowess. The car brand is also active in the racing industry, with models like the TVR 1, 2 and 3 all designed for racing. The Grantura has also been used in the Le Mans race, while models like the TVR Sagaris and the TVR Griffith both have high-performance features with high speeds and durability.
But whether it’s a race car or an everyday sports car fit for adventuring, each TVR model is only as good as the tyres that keep it on the road. TVR’s original fitment tyre brands include Avon and Michelin – with specific models using different tyres. For example, the TVR Grantura typically uses Michelin XAS all-season tyres for versatility, while the TVR Turbo responds well to Michelin XWX tyres.
