Tire brand

My wife will be going out of town next month so it is a good time to get a set of tires delivered for my 73 twin cam special.  I will be using a set of new aftermarket but stock size, John Brown Minilites.  With lug nuts and center caps they are less expensive than having the OEM alloys professionally refinished and faster than if I do it myself which I plan to do once I get the car on the road. 
I am thinking of the Barum Brillantis or the Achilles A122.  The Barums are T speed rated and the Achilles are H rated.  I am also planning on going with staggered stock size tires.  Does anyone have any experience with either?  I did see a member buy the Achilles for the speed rating but I would like to know how well they have performed.
Thanks.

I am very happy with the Achilles 122 185/70 -13 rear, 175/70-13 front.  They are h rated.  I am not driving 130mph (yet), but I did want to install the oem specification tires.

Just a reminder that tire speed ratings are for a continuous speed.  In other words you need "H" rated tires if you plan on driving at 130 mph for a long time.  If you are just going to zip up to 130 once to twice to see if it can, you don't need H rated tires.

Thank you.  I don't think I will be going much above 80 mph for any length of time but, I would like to get a tire that some day I could use on a track day if things go correctly and feel somewhat safe.  I plan on driving the car spiritedly on the road though.  I have two lane highway with 55 mph speed limit just outside my little subdivision.  I bet the average speed on a track day is even lower than 80 mph but the tires will be run pretty hard.  Plus, I am not ready to drop $800.00 to $1000.00 for race tires either for what may be a once in a lifetime experience.
