Well, the road test panel says Dunlop but I know that many Ferraris were shod with XWXs at the time.
Which actually brings up an interesting point; if you have a 1960s Ferrari in wonderful condition and live where you can stretch its legs now and again, where do you find high-performance tire sizes such as 205R-14 or 205/70R-15? They are still made in very small quantities for just that purpose; I've seen posts advertising availability on Ferrarichat.com. It would be awful to re-tire a 1960s Ferrari with something modern!
