What tires to get for GSL-SE?

Hi, I’ve been looking online for new tires to get for my 84 GSL-SE but most of the places I’ve looked have no results that will fit my car. The only tires I’ve found that fit are Nankang Cross Sport SP-9s but I’m not sure if they are good quality or not.

I'm looking for tires that will have good handling and relatively good life, I don’t care too much about noise or comfort.

I also found a thread from 2013 that had tire recommendations but either they were unavailable or not in the right size. I also don’t want to pay more than $100 per tire, if possible. Thanks in advance.

Good tires cost more than $100.00 per tire, so you are searching in vain. Pony up and get good ones.
