Re: Tires? Speed?

The highest I ever bought was for my wife's Buick, they were BF Goodrich T/A radials "S" rated to 130 I believe.

Why do they have to be DOT approved? If you plan on going that fast, who cares? You are definitely into the realm of a pure racing application tire anyway.

I had some leftover Hoosier stock tires that I used on once a street car, they had a DOT rating and were treaded. They had a ton of side bite and my '65 Belair cornered like a Lotus (almost). They did wear out after 2 weeks of such abuse.
