It looks like Vredestein has introduce a new v rated performance tire in 195/60-15 size. It kind of looks like the old Pirelli P600. This might be a good choice, although not many reviews or ratings yet:

Looks like with these tires you pretty much have to the keep the car on jack stands over the winter. Zach |

Zach I put a set on my Bumblebee project last month, Wanted to go with the 165s but they were backordered a few months so went with the 175s. Cool vintage look, proper sidewall height, and while I havent gone to crazy yet (still sorting the car out) the little i have pushed them they feel pretty sticky. It does feel like an autocross compound on a narrow, high sidewall, vintage tread tire. Thankfully my garage is heated.   |
