Looking for something as close to the original Dunlop SP for my car. As close
to the original size as possible. What do you guys suggest? Thanks, Tod |

I have agonized over this many times. I just can't make myself spend $153 each plus shipping, mount and balance for Coker's Michelins. Vredesteins are cheaper ($105) and period correct but the Michelin is the only one still available that was OE. Kuhmo makes a 165/80x15 and it costs $45 at Tire Rack. I have used them on a '66 911 with stock 4.5" wheels and found them to be fine. If stock size is not first priority, 195/65x15 works very well and are available in many brands.
