Be forewarned your speedometer/odo is going to read fast with that height, it looks goofy too.

My speedometer stopped working years ago.

What kind of tires are you looking for? All that you've said is you don't want snow tires. Are you looking for high performance summer only tires? All season tires? I'm not sure why the tire stores around you don't have access to anything.

Last time I bought tires I went through Tirerack. They will ship them to whatever shop you want to have them installed at
In 225/60-16 they have 43 different options, going to slightly bigger size of 235/60-16 they have 26 to choose from.

I like the way the slightly bigger 235 size looks, it will however throw off the speed a little.

I'm wanting a all season performance tire, V rated or higher. Since I have classic tags on the car tread life isn't that big of a deal, I do try and drive it to work every weekend so that's 8 miles a month, it will probably see <5000 miles a year.

Honest question though. Why do you need a V-rated tire? H-rated is good for 130mph and you'll have a much better ride and NVH environment with those. Unless you're coming over to my side of the state and slinging it around the Dragon, I don't necessarily see the need.

Considering my family is in Solway an Karns. I know better roads than the Dragon.

I've exceeded the speed ratings before (when money was real tight) and my SC does hit 130 very easily.
