Pay attention to valve stems also.I was getting on the freeway with my 63 421 Lemans and blew out a RT front stem,was lucky I had room to get over and not hit anything.FWIW,Tom

As we say "The tire is not new unless the valve stem is too" We've been practicing that motto for 50 years, even with tire pressure monitoring valve stems, which CAN get very pricey, especially on German cars. Bill
