Wheels & tires in the future

I know it's a bit early to think about this, but at some point, I'll need to get new tires. Before this car was put into storage, it looks like the wheels were refinished and new tires put on. Of course, this was 20 years ago so now I've got a set of brand new 20 year old Pirelli P500 tires. They look great but are totally unsafe because of the age.



These are factory 14" alloy wheels and the stock tire size is 205-70/14. Not a lot of performance tire options in this size. One choice is the Sumitomo HTR 200 from tirerack.com. It's H rated (same as the P500) but I have no experience with this brand. Another option is to get new wheels in 16" where there are more tire choices. However, this is an expensive option. Replica 16" 308 wheels are $1200 for a set from the UK. Discount Tire has a Voxx wheel which is similar in style to the OEM wheels and are only $109 each.



Decisions, decisions...I'm pretty sure the almighty dollar is going to be the main factor here.
