as standard all those years ago, they were V rated Dunlop D40. but i think V rated is up to 149 mph. it's debatable whether you need tyres capable of 150 mph living on a little island with 70mph speed limits but it's debatable if V rating is enough, especially if you have tuned it, so maybe it's better to go for Z or above

the 4x4 saph cos had "Z" rated tyres(150mph+) on as standed, put any thing less on and you risk insurance being void if you have an accident.
