Peter,
I don't know about SR vs. HR ratings on a Stag.  I don't intend to drive it
above 70 miles per hour, so any rating is OK.  These are nice looking tires.
The only problem will be, when I need to replace one.  They are not made any
longer, these were made in Japan.  By the way, they were on the car when I
bought it 3 years ago.  Yes, they do have a very aggressive tread.
