I just picked up an ERA 289 FIA-USRRC car, and it needs tires. I put Avon CR6ZZ tires on the Street 427, and I am seriously considering it again. They sure have gone up since then though.

225/60-15 front
295/50-15 rear

I just wanted to know if there are any other vintage/period-correct looking tires that drive well, are safe, and have the "look".

Thanks in advance....any pictures of tires on your FIA replicas are appreciated as well.
I will be using MT ST radials. They are vintage in proportions - 245/60x15 fronts and 275/60x15 rears, so they have nice tall sidewalls. Reports I've seen have been complementary, and the price is quite good.
If you check out Allen's thread on the ERA page for ERA2124, he used the same tyres and had posted some pictures.

Cheers,
Glen
