Lifetime MemberSpeaking of old tires, I got a good story for you... what about 1980 tires.
Yes, almost 30 years old tires.
These tires are the originals and the car only has 380 documented miles on it/ them. No its not a vette. Wish it was. 4 ply belted nylon and are 5.50 x 18. Tires Look like new, no checking, no cracks, soft and supple to the touch. Car has been stored inside and never in sun.
Yea, I know.... gotta get new tires.
What a crying shame
, but better safe than sorry.
