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  |

195/65-15 is another possibility that will provide the correct sidewall height and a bit more width. Regardless hat you choose, they‘ll age out before they wear out.
