I am trying to determine which is the best tire to use on my 74 2.0 concours restoration. I have read the lengthy Tires & Wheels thread. I am looking for the tire that would have been provided from the factory for original delivery in the states. I understand that there is no "correct" HR tire provided today for many reasons (the correct Michelin is tube-type and should be tubeless, Vredstein's weren’t OE US supplied tires, etc.). So, from a parade concours perspective, which of the 3 tires listed below are the "most correct"? I'm leaning towards the Michelin's but I'm not sure if they can be installed on the 2.0 Fuchs alloy rims?
MICHELIN XAS 165HR15 Tube Type PIRELLI CA67 165HR15 Pirelli Cinturato CA67 Tubeless? VREDSTIEN SPRINT CLASSIC 165HR15 Tubeless Opinions? Greg |

I like the Vredestein Sprint Classics, they are commonly used in Holand (and Europe) in the VW scene, modern tire with classic look, see pic attached. It is a 155 vredestein classic sprint mounted on the front wheel of a lowered bug, but you get the idea.
But there are many tires and types. Vredestein is a Dutch company (from origin) so that is a extra reason for me to like them I guess (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)  |
