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.

Avons are the only real option that will tick all of your boxes.
(edit. Didn't mean to sound elitist. I think there are other options that have the general correct profile and are fine for cruising. My thoughts are that the Avon's have the most period correct look in a radial and they far and away have the best grip and hence are the safest tire for a 92" wheelbase car with a stupid power to weight ratio. If you can afford them, there is no other equivalent choice. If you can't afford them, some other option is the way to go.)
