Just my $.02,

ps: Sprint- define what you mean by "good ones". There are lots of tires available for different purposes. I run Michelin 205/60-15 Pilots on 6" Fuchs on the street with my '67S, and Falken Azenis (RS Sport) in 205/50-15 on 7" cookie cutters on the track. Much cheaper and longer lasting than Hoosiers, but not as fast. Kumho makes a V700 in 205/50-15 which is in between the two as far as grip and durability goes.
I agree on the 205/50 15 tires as I've tried 205/55 15 on the rear of my Katie (RHD '67S). They doin't rub, but look kinda low profile and another con is that the rolling cirumference is now smaller... Meaning I need more RPMs for same road speed.
