Ian DB:
I fully understand the reasoning behind going for the modern option but think going for a classic tyre would the way to go, after all they are still considered decent tyres especially the TT100's which proved themselves at the TT. Thanks for the links BTW, i looked at these earlier and thought they might be worth considering.
Anybody know what was fitted originally? Although I'm keen to keep things traditional, I'm not averse to change if its for the better.

Johnwebley:
from memory,they had japanese ribbed fronts,and semi block rears

nearest are the Avon Speeedmaster/SM pairing would be the normal they would have been swopped for,

or the TT100 's

LesterPiglet:
You do realise with modern pattern tyres you can only tell they aren't classic is when the wheels aren't rotating. :)
