New tires load/speed rating question

[YowzaZ31]

Looking to buy set of 4 BF Goodrich Radial T/A’s and found a really good deal for my ’86 N/A. I don't drive it much, put less than 2k miles on it per year. The tires that are on sale have a load/speed rating of 93/S (up to 112 mph). My '86 owner’s manual calls for the tires’ load/speed rating to be 90/H (up to 130 mph).

Will I have an trouble with the these new tires if I run with them?

My second question would be ..... is there another size tire other than the 215/60R 15 that I can safely run with??

The S rated tires are fine as long as you don't plan to do sustained driving north of 112 mph. 205/50 R15 is a more common size. On the stock 15 x 6.5 wheels you can run anything from a 195 to a 225 width without issue and 45-60 % aspect ratio. If you up size the wheels you'll find more tire options but as the size goes up so does the price.

So any of these sizes will work??? Any more not listed?

Tire alternative chart has:
195/65R 15 @ -0.8%
205/65R 15 @ +1.2%
225/60R 15 @ +1.6%

I'd personally go for a 225 50 15, very common size, it'll lover the car a bit, increase contact patch and reduce the sidewall and get rid of the bg sidewall flex.

225 50 15 on the stock 15 x 6.5 wheels???

[evildky]

I meant to say 205 50 15, but the 225's would work too just might crown the tread a bit

Actually I have run 225/50 15's for about 20 years now and they work great. I have had others say that it would be too wide on the rim but they fit just fine and work just fine. I have a set of Bridgestone SO3's on there right now that are finally coming off in favor of new 16x8 Enkei Comp wheels with 225/50 16 tires.

There are a few choices left in the 225 size on the HR speed rating but none in ZR or above unless you want autocross tires.
