I did the same exact thing about a year ago, even on the same kind of tires
for my '88 5kCST.  First I had to listen to a bunch of crap how you're not
supposed to put "H" rated tires on a Turbo car, how I needed speed-rated
tires.  Gee guys, I don't think I'll be doing 130mph anytime soon...I need
my driver's license.

So after assuring them that H rated tires were just fine for me, I got them
to match Tire Rack's price.  And I did one better - they didn't figure in
the shipping, so it actually came out less!

BTW, these tires IMHO are the best bargain out there for a good, all-weather
performance tire.  Hats off to Dunlop and their D60A2...
