Hi Jon, I've been running 195/60x14 tires on my 1973 Berlina. The last several sets have been Yokohamas and the latest are Falken. I haven't pushed them hard yet, but they are high performance tire. I was considering a Dunlop from the tire rack that is listed as "ultra performance", but went with the Falkens as I could get them faster when I found a nail in one of the Yokos. If you want to get tires from the tire rack, I recommend having your local tire guy order them for you, if you want to purchase road hazard insurance. Stevan Thomas 73 Berlina 83 GTV6
