My 68 has been backdated to 4.5 chromes with 165's. It drives just like the new ones I drove in the late sixties. If it's all-out cornerning I want, then just about any modern sport coupe with some good tires on it will outshine the early Porsches, but that's a whole different thing.

I just put them on to get the car rolling and get it home safely (previous owner paid for them actually). But since they have gotten compliments, and they are paid for, they have grown on me.

that could be the reproductions of the McAfee wheels from the 60's which offered an alternative to Fuchs.

I've always been happy with my Hankook Venus V12s, but as other members have stated, Michelle PSS are terrific tires.
