Don't believe everything you read on comparison websites about wet grip. The fact that a particular tyre suits something like a VW Golf in the wet does not mean that you will get a similar response in a Morgan. The experience of Morgan drivers is a much better resource.
If you really want the very best grip in dry and wet , then go for the expensive Avon CR6 ZZ , you will run out of brakes before you run out of grip , BUT , they will cost you twice to three times the price of alternatives, and the wear rate is high.
My local dealer strongly recommends the Avon ZV5 for all trad Morgans, and they drive a lot more cars than any of us under some very different conditions. Very reasonable price too. This is what I use and in general I m avery pleased with them, a great improvement on the Yokohama A520s they replaced in both wet and dry.
However the choice of most "competitive" drivers is the Toyo Proxes T 1R , and if they made them in the right size for my +8 they would be my automatic choice , every time, however the 205/55 x 15 cuts my ground clearance to get over a lip in my garage. I have even thought of going to a 16 inch alloy (non-standard of course) in order to be able to use them.
