I’m looking for a V speed rating. Pirelli used to sell that size with a V rating in the US, but no more...

I remember the dealer trying to push us into the package with the larger wheels. I liked the look, but knew the tire size was an oddball even back then.

I have both ;)

I have a penchant for the 87-88s.

I actually love the look of the Urraco.

Considering I put a supercharger on my 2005 Mustang and before the warranty ended and KEPT the warranty (including the blower — Ford Racing) I think I came out ahead thanks to advancements made over time.
