145-13 is closest to original and looks best on a stock car IMHO. Recently I've been thinking if I had an early car like you in original condition, I would go for the original bias-ply tires. I think

My '63 Mini Cooper came on some vintage 1979 Michelin XZXs (in 1992..), rock hard and showing the beginning of dry rot. The car was a real hoot at 40 mph around town.... but the tire tread starting

I think there would be a BIG difference between old and new bias-ply tires. I bought an old 66 Caddy that had been sitting for a while and it had really old radials on it. I drove like described. Sca

What's up wit dat? I put a set of new (cheap) radials on my TR$ ($ on purpose) a few years ago and when I had to move it out of the garage a couple of weeks ago, all four were split on the sidewalls
