I am looking for some period correct tires for my 74. Wondering if you have recommendations, experience or thoughts about which tire to buy.
There is an 'S' rated tire, a 'H' rated tire and a 'VR' rated tire. Because this car will be driven lightly and the fact that it is stored during winter months I wouldn't think the speed rating is really a factor. Also, which tread do you like for a period correct car? Any help would be appreciate. Thanks, Jeff ![]() |

another thing to mention with XAS.
they run "quiet". were developed for citroen. aside from grip etc, one of the requirements was silence. (at least by late 1960s measures). i hear the pirellis are noisy. not that it matters i guess. but if your the type who does not like cruising down the interstate listening to your tyres roar - something to bear in mind. these old school tyres are not like modern tyres in that department. we forget that. modern tyres have grip, rain performance etc, but an aspect that is not discussed often is that modern tyres are very quiet compared to old tyres. forget about rain performance with these tread patterns. puddles of standing water is not their strength. wet pavement is fine. but any thing else.............
