Tyres thread?

Interested to know what tyres are popular/look great for early 911's? I have an original spec 1970 911T Targa. Pictures would be good, can't see any threads on here for tyres so lets get a tyre thread going?!! Jeez, this Porsche thing is taking over my life.......!!

There are a number of threads if you search. I will try to provide links shortly. The original tire was a 185/70 15. Current offerings are not what they once were. A 195/65 15 will give you a sidewall of 126.75 compared to the original 129.5. A number, if not most, folks are running 205/60 15 giving a side wall of 123...slightly lower profile, but still a relatively period-correct look.
