Period Correct Tire Recommendations Options

[jagalyn]

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

i don't think you can go wrong with a vred at 185 @Van B

i was set on going 165 wide and getting that steering feel back.
i got a bit nervous and went for the best i could do at that width.

dunno about being cool, dumb maybe parting with the $?
would have been plenty angry if they were awful.
i had to make a few phone calls for reassurance from a couple of guys who run them before making the final call.
the NO version (porsche rated) are tubeless. i think all the other XAS require tubes.
i would not have got them if they had to have tubes. i think that is the sole reason for the porsche rating of NO, it is to do with being a tubeless tyre version.

the XZX are also all tubeless.
