Were there BETTER 15" 60 series performance tires in the past? Will we ever see new models?

put out a poll and ask owners of cars so equipped to define "performance" and you'll soon have the foundation for your answer.

Put out another poll asking what they're willing to spend on those tires, and the answer should be nailed home.

If you want performance, you go modern. You don't go old school and expect performance to come to you.
