I will have to look for those places.
The places I've tried so far don't have any and have said that they're hard to get.
The next thing is this: what size are you asking for (I assume that you are working on a "shoebox Ford")?
There are sizes that would be quite acceptable for mechanic work, but not for any sort of a drive except maybe around the block.
I think that not driving an unknown tire at high speed is very sensible. People who are safety minded tend to live longer.
