The tires are in incredible shape. </div></div>

Visually they may look perfect, but on a molecular level, that rubber is not really functioning like tire rubber anymore. Seriously, I would not drive faster than 20 mph on those tires. Due to the age, when they let go it will be without any warning, and catastrophic. That car is too valuable to risk at any speed on those tires.

I have the original owner 40 year old Firestone Parnelli Jones L60s on the back of my Charger at the moment. I have gone to the local cruise night a time or two, five miles from my house and didnt go over 25 with them. They look nice but they are like round rocks.
