Hi everyone,
Apologies if this question has been done to death in the past, but a search on the forums didn't deliver the answer I was looking for.
I've just acquired a 1973 2.4S and the tyres need changing. The car has been in storage for a few years and the tyres are thus old/hard and not necessarily correct for the car.
When I look online, I seem to be pushed towards the classic tyres: Pirelli Cinturato CN36 185/70 VR 15 or the same size Michelin XWX.
Do any of you have any experience with running the car on what would be period tyres, or do people tend to go for more modern tyres? I'm conscious of not 'over tyring' the car with something too soft and sticky.
Thanks in advance,
Graham Pattle
