No disrespect intended ALB. Understand you are a very positive commenter here.
For me The tires on the car do great, Toyo's can hang in the mountains here and the car runs very good for the performance you can get out of these cars. I drive a Lotus Exige as my daily so that car is fully setup for the most corner abilities I can dial in.
For the 550 I really want something that can do its job, handle very well but I'm willing to sacrifice a little to get a taller and clean sidewall. As I dial the vintage elements in to be authentic to the original, the one thing thats sticking out like a Unibrow on a first date is the modern tires that are two low profile along with words all over them. I desire the purity of the basic blackwall "functional simplicity".
