The only issue is the date codes on the Yokos...not sure how well they would hold up to high speed driving?

>>>I've driven Geoff Peters GT5 Pantera with these tires, and they were fantastic, BUT they wore fairly quickly.   They are racing tires, super-sticky, and will pick up pebbles and fling them into the bodywork, just like race tires are supposed to.

Given that there is now a ready supply of Yokohama 285/40-15 front tires and Pirelli 345/35-15 rear tires, I would definitely go that route if I was planning to primarily drive my car on the street.   That's what Geoff switched to when he wore out his Michelins in about 5000 miles.
