Choice of tyres for original Tarantula alloys
I've just restored my 1.6 GTI tin top golf, I am finding it very hard to source tyres for these alloys. I believe the correct size is 175 x 70 x R13 on a 'H' rated. Can anyone suggest what sort of brands, prices and size combinations avaliable for gearing and performance please?
I have restored the car back to original, so a reasonable looking tyre would prefer.
many thanks
Darren.

For originality I went for Dunlop SP2000's at ?29.50 +VAT each.
I was told these tyres were originally designed for the MK1 but don't know if this was true.
