I've got those tires on my 64 with minilites. They came from the
California dealer for those Pirellis; Lucas Tire
http://www.lucasclassictires.com/
They look good and seem to preform well on my mountain roads, but I'm
not too happy. I had Hendrix set them up and he had to shave half the
tread off to get them round. Also they had some age on them as delivered.
And James, I've a similar setup as yours, except I also have the DW
rear sway bar and tube shocks all around.
