Keep in mind I work at a manufacturing facility and not a service center that sells tires. Maybe I should look into getting a percentage off for forum members.
Thanks Bob,
the reason I wanted to go with the Goodyears is they have the white letters and the correct speed rating I wanted.
I will have to check what can be shipped over here. I have some time to figure it out though, the winter-season just started and the car is stored for now...

The Firehawks are RWL and have as good or better speed rating than the Goodyears.

Default Go down a size and consider BFG?

I like the BFG T/A Radials in 235/60R15. These are maybe an inch smaller in diameter but still look good on the car. They also have nice block RWLs on them. On my '73, a set of 255/60R15 tires rubbed the back edges of the front fenderwell - not good!
