Best vintage tire?

Hey guys I’m looking for some tires for my 1970 911e. My car has 14” Fuchs and I’d like a nice looking vintage tire on it. I’ve got 195/70/14 and 205/70/14 just not really sure what to get.

Vredinstein?
Perrelli?
Michelin?



Thanks in advance!

Vredesteins get my vote. Better pricing than "A tier" brands and high quality

I mounted a set of Vredestein sports on a 356 earlier this year and they seemed decent. Tough to tell performance wise as I was comparing them to the client's 20+ year old Michelins that "had plenty of tread left" lol

I’ve been looking all over for vredistien but they seem to be out of stock on all sites.

I’m looking for 195/70/14
And 205/70/14

I’m open to other brands I just can’t seem to find anything vintage style

The Avon CZ66s are very nice. Very sticky. : )
I have them mounted on my deep sixes.

Where can these be purchased stateside? And how's the pricing? I hear they're similar in price to Michelin TBs these days

Hi there's and older nice (German) article on this but I can't upload pdf's, you can get it if you google for "reifentest-ab-klassic-0716".

My 1977 targa runs on the Pirelli CN36. These are N coded, look great and run great.
