I'm looking for new tires for my 82 urq with newly professionally refinished 7" (in (Y7Y) Fuchs rims.  I'm sticking with the stock look and spec tire which is 205/60-15 91V, although I'd also consider 90 V or 91H.  

Of the tires I found (at The Tire Rack, Discount Tires Direct and 1010 tires), it seems to come down to (alphabetically arranged):

BF Goodrich g-Force 91V 300-AA-A
Bridgestone Potenza G009 91H 460-A-A
Dunlop SP Sport 01 91V 280-A-A
Falken ZE-512 91H 420-A-A
Hankook Ventus HR ii H 408 91V 340-A-A
Kumho Ectsa ASX 91V 420-A-A
Toyo Proxes TPT 91V 400-A-A
Yokohoma AVS dBS2  90V 320-A-A

Any other recommendations?

Every once in a while I'll take the car to a driver's school where I'll drive 7/10ths (no interest in breaking the car or bending metal).  I had an earlier version of Toyo 91V tires on the car and was happy with them.  I use Falken ZE-512 on my '86 5000 CSTQ (same size) and been happy with them for street use.

The car has H&Rs 3/4" lowering springs and Koni yellow strut inserts, so it's very stiff at tire pressures over 29 psi.

I'd appreciate any comments on or off list.
thanks,
Bill (Bremer)
