Default Tires

Have looked at some previous posts and for my 409 I think I have narrowed it down as follows:
Tires on the car are 600 X 16 or 5" ( footprint) X 28".
A 185 VR16 would be close...need to check footprint and I am considering these 2 options:
https://www.cokertire.com/185r16-michelin.html Michelin X at $300
or http://www.lucasclassictires.com/185...-CA67-518p.htm Pirelli Cinturato at $400.

Thoughts??

Default 411 tyres for avon wheels

I am needing to purchase new tyres for my 411. The pirelli 4000s are no longer made nor are the Falken tyres i am currently running . The tyres recommended by Longstone are when landed in Australia too expensive. The original size 205 15 are a lot taller than the 215 70 15s most people are using. My question then has anyone tried 225 70 15s . These are about the same height as the original size, 205 15. That size was apparently used on the Beaufighter.

Any thoughts please
