Default Tires

Any comments on tire manufacturers 475/500/19 for 1930 Model A? I have always been very conservative about sticking with the best performing tires I can get and replacing long before reaching significant wear...but that is for modern cars from which I expect performance in all weather. Michelin offers one at 389 euro per tire which seems rather dear. I run Michelins on my modern cars and have had great performance from them...but they are cruising the Autobahn at 90 mph. 'Euro Classic' has one for 289 euro. How significant is tire manufacturer given the Model A low speeds.... around 45-50 mph on average with no intention of Autobahn travel at all? I am assuming an annual average of about 1500 miles on smooth roads and no snow or ice.
