The way I see it, Germans had no problem driving faster on equal size =
tires in the 1980's, why should I have any more trouble? Honestly, it =
cruises quite nicely on the highway and I only have to slow down a =
couple mph for turns. You'd be surprised how well an SE can handle on =
the stock 14's after you've had a bit of practice with the car. Driving =
in the real world, only cars recognized for their speed can get away =
from me, but regular moderately fast cars (like audi A4's) can be kept =
up with if not beat if the road is right.

You are going to drive that fast on tires that small?  There's a reason =
most of those tires are only S rated.

A nice thought, but S rated won't cut it for me. I need U at the very =
least. Thanks though...if it's a classic size, maybe some of those =
companies that make whitewalls and stuff would have them.

Very easy question. That tire size jumps right out to anyone who had/has =
vintage Detroit iron, as it was standard on just about everything in the =
late 60's.early 70's. The answer is B.F. Goodrich Radial T/A's. Still =
available everywhere. About $240.00 per set of 4.
