The fact they do both a 205/70 15 and a 155 in the same type of tyre is a bonus. The Michelin's are different which is a pain but then again they do the 145's. Just been through all this and in the end went with Bibendum. the speed rating on the Vred' 155's and the Mich' 145's is the same. Smiley

I feel that 145 and 165 Michellin's would be the best choice to be period correct. They are cheap as well..

Sorry for the off topic Lee, but there are a few other things to fix at the Selecta to.
The most noticeable is the window sizes that grow bigger between oval and 58 model, in reality the side windows are the same size up to 64.
It's not an easy task to make a bug look right in a flat 2D view, but I would think the sloping headlights would be more visible.

It's a cool program nevertheless!

Well Lee, since you';re not going to show us any more photos, I thought I'd show the Loungers one I secretly snapped when i checked your garage the other day... Wink

I think you may be taking the retro look a little too far!
