Morning Danny.
Are you still using the original 5 spokes?  Then I suggest looking into Steve Walker's post about tires last week.  He ordered them from Longstone Tyre in England.  I have received tires from them as well and they have the Pirellis that we ran back then.  They need a tube, though.  The tread patterns are right on and the look is correct.  Just a thought.
I'll see you at Bug In and hope you are doing well.

Beautiful car, Olaf. My favorite color for a VW.

IMO, the tread on those Vredestein's is hideous.

Look nice but at almost $200 a piece + shipping to the US its a bit much.

I have a 155 Vredestien for my spare...when the '67 gets redone I'll probably run 155s in the front and their 185s in the rear.  I don't mind the look at all, they seem like a proper "vintage" tire from back in the day.

Sure, I'd love to run all Michelins, but they're too cost prohibitive.

That's my car - thanks for the comment.
I run 185R15 Michelin XVS at the back.
This is what the thread looks like.
