Clearly a tire with that wall height wouldn't compare to a modern road race tire like the NT01. Not everyone has the vintage requirement so it would be best to make sure that, when putting a 1 to 10 list together we clarify. There are some superb tires out there that work provided you have 17 or 18" rims.
If you re-read the OP, the criteria was for 15" tyres.
