Any recommendations for tires for my JPS 356?

Stan is "spot on" with his assessment of the Vred Sportrac5. I've been running 185/65R15 Sportrac5's on my Speedy for over a year and they've been GREAT!             Take note, though, they're DRY tires but if you're like me that's not a big deal. I NEVER put those tires in the rain...and I even avoid puddles. I see you're in Florida, so you should get in touch with 301tires in No. Miami Beach: call Michael (cell: 561-260-7020) and tell him you're with the SOC and there's a chance of a "deal." Whatever happens, you should certainly be able to avoid shipping charges.

Unless, of course, you live in Europe.  Vredstein is the Goodyear of the Netherlands, been around for over 100 years and making everything from auto and truck tires, to heavy equipment and even bicycle and motorcycle tires.  Really good company making very good products.  It has been Indian owned (Apollo) since 2005 or so, but has been managed by the same Euro team as before the acquisition.

You only know about it because they've always made killer bicycle tires, el Gordo.
