Default Re: Tires

My story on tires.
My '28 Tudor had Wards tires on when I bought it 30 plus years ago. They looked good, new, but I don't know old they were. Lasted less than 5K miles.

Put Firestones on. Made in the USA. They lasted 11000 miles; 20 years it took me to put that many miles on it. As I understand it, Firestones for Model A's are not made in the USA anymore.

I just bought American Classic Radial tires from JEGS. Made in the USA. They had an online coupon that took $20 off a tire, so $260 each. Same price as Firestones from Snyder's. And JEGS gave free shipping. Had the tires in 4 days.

Been so cold here I haven't drove much, just around town. Seem to ride smoother, but that might just be they had tread on them! HAHA

So, bottom line I'll update you in 20 years!
