Info I sent yesterday about Hankook kinergy 195/75R14 tires being speed-rated “L” (75 mph) was provided by Hankook but is incorrect. Hankook advised today that the correct speed rating, as shown by the “92T” on the tire, is “T,” which is 118 mph. Regards, Louis

I bought and mounted Uniroyal 195/75 R14 “Tiger Paw II” with 17-18 mm white stripes on my 1968 - very happy with the prices and reasonably happy with the ride.
