If its a rider then Repops are the way to go.
Bought a bike and it came with NOS green/blue labels. (they were absolutely mint, but too valuable to ride on so got onsold)
first thing we did was put the repops comp 3s on as it will be ridden.
On the other hand, if a set came up that was of rider quality then it would certainly look awesome.

most of the bikes around here all run the repops or similar.
theres a few that look down upon the practice, but on the other hand its awesome to see the bikes being ridden rather then worried about the cost of potential damage to a perishable and wearable item.

for me repo rubber is the only thing I'd put on an OS rider, far cheaper, new modern materials, and won't further deplete the diminishing supply of scarcely available  og tyres that are left. Even if the build's a bit of a carpet queen, I have 80's for correctness of build but swap to repo's for when I potter out on the odd cruise about. There's so many nowadays - re-issue comp 3's, duro, cheng shin, Kenda, panaracers, and those recent NTKK snake bellies - got to get myself a set of them soon  :smitten:

Sorry though, not sure of any repo skinnies  :-\
**** WANTED: Early black Comp ST's, Mint Black Shotgun 2 or OG Suede Kashi Aero, Titrons, Black-White/White-Black RadKaps. Thank You ****
