It's hard to imagine "175/70R12" being considered performance. I think I've had econoboxes back in the late 80s that ran on 175-75R13 and 175-80R13. And the only "performance" aspect of them was the lack of performance capability.

Indeed, it's all relative. Let me clarify the word "performance" in this context. It means getting a tire wide enough to sort of match the previous Goodyear Rally Special tires that were on there previously. Nearly everything else is a 145 or so width tire which is basically a pizza cutter. I believe that these 175 tires are off of a Ford Cortina?
