Interested in your observation about tyres. I have heard similar comments from owners of pre war cars.
Tyres of the 1950s, presumably prior thin synthetic plies, were very stiff even in their day. I have been amazed how easy "modern" soft 19" tyres are to fit but have not driven on! Presumably pliant walls reduce the running off course due the camber effect of waves and lines in the road. Hard to know what is truly representative of the cars originally.
