You'd need to use the rules for layering armor here, essentially treating TR as though it were another layer. Note this means a TR 10 average human would need AV 7+ armor - equivalent to DR 4-5 - before there would be any benefit to wearing it (of course, I think I've seen mention in the past that historical armors tended to give DR 4+). You lose more resolution, but gain more simplicity... although you'd probably need to shift DV or AV+TR (either +4 to DV or -4 to AV and TR), as there's no longer the armor adjustment.
