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?

+1 for Vredestein sprint classics. Period correct tread pattern, correct diameter, and good overall compliance but not cheap. No regrets what so ever.
