I would like a more authentic/vintage looking tire with comfort to match.

Thanks.
I don't believe the Avons have a rating although as DOT marked I would expect them to have one.

I have talked to people who have 10-15K on Avons. Life expectancy is dependant upon the right foot. How much track time? How many drop throttle burnouts? How many 10 tenths turns?

Again the total control of your car is dependant upon four small contact patches. Wouldn't you want the best you can get for your application?
