>Vreds in 185/15 give the car (IMO) a great period feel consistent with how
it was designed.  

 

  Be advised that according to a source at Universal Vintage Tire in PA,
Vredestein is no longer making an H speed rated tire in a 185-15 (185-HR15
rated to 130 mph).  You will have to buy a V speed rated tire (185-VR15
rated to 149 mph) at a significant increase in price (tire, S + H = $240).
I suggested to the guy on the phone that the only way my car could go 149
mph was if it got pushed off a cliff. He thought that was funny.
