[Land-speed] Tires OEM H Rated

[James Tone]

I have run Michelin XVS radial tires on both my 40 Chev and roadster. The tire is a 215 listed tire at 28" tall; they were use on highway patrol vehicles in the mid 70"s. They are rated as an "H". They are narrow by todays standards. My coupe has been 153 on them and my roadster has been 165. I still have them and would use them again.

If I were looking to use an "H" tire I would look to the narrowest possible. At one time BF Goodrich had a highway pursuit tire which was also H rated for those old heavy Dodges and Chryslers...Good Luck
