The condensed version...
Some of these tires drive far better than others, some of them will literally hunt every crack in the road, and some of these tires will have serious flat spots after they sit idle for a few months, especially in cooler climates. Do your homework before you spend your money! IT'S TRUE.

Hey Guys
Thanks for all the info. I'm really not planning on showing the car that much. Probably just cruising to some car shows and talking it on a few Sunday drives. My car currently has Firestone Wide Oval on it and when you get it up to around 50 MPH it shaking pretty good. The tires are pretty old and I'm sure out of balance, its has some old dated weights on the rims. I think I'm starting to understand the options. Sounds like if I truly want period correct its the F70-14 Wide Treads. If i want a much better driving tire its a Goodyear Polyglas or Firestone Wide Oval....Sounds like I might need to check out Rusty too....Thanks Ron |

Thanks...
When you really plan on driving a car, there's more important factors to consider over what's carved onto the sidewall. To me it's about the ride and the handling, but still looking somewhat correct to the period. Rusty should be able to steer you right on the matter. Just be sure to discuss how you plan on driving the car as it can make a huge difference.
