I just picked up a set of 225/60-15's for the front of my '68 Barracuda. They are V-rated with a 525 something treadwear rating. I'm having them put on and the car aligned on Friday. Cost was less that $200 delivered. Made in Taiwan, so from a modern factory.
I run 265/60-15 Nitto's on the back. They make the car safe to drive on the street and work very well in the rain. One does have to be aware it is a wide tire at freeway speeds in the rain, but they are rated at 186mph.
