That was a big selling point when they were introduced to the American market. My first set were Goodyear fiberglass-belted bias.

F-60/15s on 8" Buick rims with VW centers. Too much tire, I lost 5mph top speed, but it cornered like it was on railroad tracks.

What's your PCI (bolt circle diameter) and offset; and tire height/circumference. I'm thinking of the rim size going +1 or +2.
