Yeah the ragtops really opened my eyes to these cars. I always loved them but now that I have one in a drop top, I can't imagine every letting it go.

 Premium quality tires would far outweigh RWL or not if it was my car .

Mr Lee

My vote is white letter tires. Without a doubt.

In your picture, it looks like you have white outlined letters. Do they still make those in the size you need?  How did you like those tires on the road?

I think you can buy white letters to glue to your black wall tires.  I remembers seeing a company advertise that they will do any font and will do replica letters. This way, you can get great handling tires, and still have "polyglass" on the sides to replicate what the car would have come with.  It may cost more, but you will have the look and the feel you want. 
I just did a quick search for Tire Stickers.  Lots of options.  Here is one

That's what these Nitto "Radial T/A" tires are.

I always thought it was a shame our cars weren't offered with some of the cool gold or red line tires like you see on other makes. Polyglas white letter tires look great but you probably want a modern radial. Black wall tires just seem boring to me.

Diamond Back Tires can do any of these combinations you  may be interested in, red line, gold line, blue line, witewall. They  can make them in vintage sizes or modern 17 or 18 inch diameters too.

Ditch the old school wheels and go with a more modern 17".  Tire selection will increase and blackwall will look good on a black on black car. :alan2cents:  You might be able to find a similar style wheel in a 17".

I have been considering that option.  If I do decide to do that, will put them on the convertible first.  Already been thinking about new rims on that . . .
