I don't like the tyres much, a little bit pedestrian for my taste.
When I saw your pics I thought: nice bike, shame about the tyres!
Are they 27's ?
For what it's worth I seem to remember that old Michelin tyres were a bit on the loose side even when they weren't old. I have a pair of Constrictor rims (26") and recently I found that a Michelin 'zigzag' which was perfectly ok on a Dunlop rim blew straight off the Constrictor. A modern Schwalbe stays in place without difficulty.

I have just shellacked the handlebar tape. Three coats, messy job but I like the effect.
