    Help, I need recommendations for new tire for my '65 356 C. size 185/65 15. right now I'm running Michelin MXV 4 but there're worn out......also they are no longer available.
    I'm searching for a modern performance tire, mileage is of no concern.

    Someone thought Falken Ziex ZE912 as a good choice but I've never heard of them.
    another guy runs Michelin XWX's on a 356? (didn't know that tire came so small)

    Any thoughts?

    I have the BFG Silveton "bias ply" tires on my 55 speedster. I must admit, they aren't that great to drive on, but I need them to keep the car entirely period correct. Have you check out the 356 registry? There are a few threads on this topic as well. I'd probably say some of the other BFG radials are probably the best. Hope this helps.

    Vredestein Sprint Classics on my 56 Speedster - they make them in OEM size. Car's at the shop for valve adjustment or I'd run out and confirm.
