midschooljon:
If its a rider Id go new reissue comp 3's. The authenticity of the old tyres is great, but I just find older tyres dont handle riding tyre pressures very well at all. So if its going to get ridden about having a fresh set on the bike that can hold decent pressure and seat well on the bead makes a big difference.

Glynnyboy:
By the time he's ridden over field or track on a wet day the tires would fit right in anyway even if they were new initially.
At least they would be safe too.

brass monkey!:
