Thanks for the comments.  I am going to use the Original 190/65 390MM TRX tires from Coker.  Expensive but concours correct

Those really look amazing.  What was done to them?  Sanded down, polished and then clearcoated?
Too much junk, too little time.

What did you use for the clear coat?

I did not not do the work.  I had them done.  Sorry if that was misleading.  Here is where I had them refinished.
