Hi Guys,
I just got my wheel's back from Fuchs Restorations and I want to get everyone's opinions about which tire looks the best on the wheel. I have Pirelli P4 195/65 - 15's on the '74 and they look ok but what do you guys think look the best? Continentals? Perielli? Michelin? Dunlop? Something else? I want to stay with a modern tire and I'm flexible on the size so long as they fit within the stock fenders. I know the question about tires has been asked many times before but, I'm looking at it from a performance AND looks standpoint. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike |

How do the wheels look after restoration?
Our rust free project came with 195 15 tires. The front inner fender wells are scraped up from tire contact. They have decent tread but are some off brand. When I get her running I am thinking a 175/70. I have never been a fan of wide tires. If I recall the stock size is 165 15. |
