Its all about fitment, rating & safety, not $, Its your head/safety
Rules for this seem relaxed, check those tires for dates, cracks, pressure, no blowouts please at 150 aprox

True dat.

Also highly recommend tight hubs. While free play up to .005" is ok per FSM at 150mph when you need brakes you do not want runout from hub vibe.

As I seem to have become highly experienced in hub life cycles I did once find a bumpy brake zone plus a tired hub allowed a caliper to hop the pin and become intimate with the inside of the wheel. Good news was this happened at 35mph.

Cheers,
