What about 145 Firestones and aluminium roof?  That's on a Panhard, surely? Nope.

Re: Tyres! I've got Toyos on all of my cars now. They grip pretty well, and I think they're good value for money. I'd run Michelin 135s all the time if I could afford to though, but I can't.

Firestone, Nankang, Toyo and Mabor are all pretty much the same. None of these tyres are like Michelin (soft compound) so the ride and handling is a bit harder due to stiffer sidewalls.

Re: Tyres! The only experience I have of Nankangs wasn't on a 2cv, but they lasted, from brand new, less than one hour before they were down to the canvas and big chunks were falling off them.

Re: Tyres! I should point out, it was probably more down to the driving and the car than the quality of the tyres, although we did take three times as long to ruin a set of Joke-ahamas which are widely regarded as very soft and easy to wear out. I'm not sure of this applies to 2cv sizes though.
