Avons are great. A little pricey, but many I have blown lots more dough (some smartly and some stupidly) on other aspects of the car. There are few other ways that you can so easily make such a positive impact on performance, feel and looks on these cars than by running really good tires. Also, the Avons don't flat spot, badly leak air or throw rocks. Plus, they are DOT approved.

Although the Goodyear billboards look very cool, the Avons look more period correct (from 10 feet anyway) than the billboards as Goodyear did not make big letter tires in the '60s.
