Tire suggestions 83 300D

I need recommendations for tires. Texas heat is a factor as is ability to run up to 100 mp/h. I've got my own opinions... I want yours.

Michelin is the obvious choice. If you're on a bit more of a budget check out the Kumho line of tires, though I'm not sure about their 14inch tire selection.

Exalto A/S do not come in 14" size, unless the OP's car has 15" wheels then go for them. Have them in my w123 (15" bundts) and love them.
