I have a set of Michelins on my 69. They are cupping on the front tire and I
don't know if that is my set up or the tires themselves. What I can say
about them though is that they have lasted well. I think I have 8500+ miles
on them. Of course I tend to ride like an old man on the machine :-)

I have used conti's but the side walls always seem to crack up before the treads wear out. A friend of mine who was a VW - Porsche dealer in the 70's in California told me they had the same problem with the stock Contis on the cars. They would get about 12 months out of them before they start to crack. Maybe it has something to do with the hot weather. I currently have some Dunlop K70's on my eldo and don't care for them. The seem to ride hard and are already wearing out. So what are you guys running ?
