I've had good luck with Michelin Pilot XGT H4's on my '84. $89 each from Tire Rack, in 205-65R15.
It took about two years of wear before my 123 hp could even begin to spin the rear wheels on a wet takeoff. Wet braking and handling was excellent, IMO.
They're not too bad even in snow, as long as it's not really deep.
I liked them a lot better than the Toyo Proxes H4's I had previously. The Toyo's were much more willing to slide, spin, and break loose in wet weather.
The only drawback of the Michelins? They are a bit noisy.
Hope this helps, Bob
