Best tyres for a 912 (or SWB 911) ?

So I have got my Flat 6's on the 912 and they look super smashing great !!!
My question is, the Fuchs came with Dunlop SP Sport Supers in a 185/70 VR 15 size and they look fantastic, but it seems that two of them don't hold air.
The steelies have Michelin 165/70SR15's on so I think they would be a bit undertyred from where I'm sitting. So I probably need to buy some new tyres (also the Dunlops are a bit old - not sure just how old and also they have red paint all over them from an overspray incident)
So, the question is what to go for ? The Dunlops look amazing, like 1960's Grand Prix tyres really, super cool tread pattern and they look just right. I'm after a tyre for spirited driving, unlikely to ever take it on the track, but the roadholding from the XZX's wasn't exactly confidence inspiring, they always felt a bit "tall"
Whats good chaps ? What will look fab and improve the handling on the old dear ??
Thanks
