Hi Gary,
Taking into account the many different aspects of this hobby, and the
fact that different owners use their cars for different purposes, the choice of
tire is up to the individual owner based on taste as well as anticipated use of
the vehicle.
What I am trying to say is that, if the car is a "trailer queen" and
hardly gets driven, and is only taken out of the trailer for shows and awards,
then, of course, correct-appearing tires would be the ticket.
However, for folks like me who couldn't give a rat's ass about awards, who never
trailer their cars, and who drive them hard as often as possible, I'd go with
performance over correct looks. Indeed, the tires on my cars are all serious
Goodyear Eagle GT+4's, V-rated, with "only" a 1" whitewall. My personal
choice, and I am sure there are other suitable tires out there besides the
Goodyears.

causes me to ponder...(and no, I am not driving a 100-point resto) under what
conditions would I buy specialty tires such as these? If they only have an
estimated 20k life span, and if the manufacturer is not willing to be a
'stand-up' kind of guy, why would I not only (potentially) endanger my life but
also those around me? Not to mention (potential) damage to the
car... It would seem illogical to put any tire that is not of the absolute
highest quality on any car that is actually driven. In pursuit of
perfection we should always be constrained by reality and facts. If I was
driving anywhere on the freeway system (not to mention OR to OK) I think that a
set of Michelins would be just fine for me. Screw the tire deduct on a
100-point rig....
