Default Just my takle on vintage tires

Today I have installed the third set of tires and wheels on my spoiled rotten '32 pickup First set... Auburn Deluxe radials with the pie crust edge.... my experience was these tires are hard and HEAVY and not round and required the tire shop

bazooka to seat on the rims. A ton of weight on each tire which was annoying, these tires were expensive. Above 50 mph the truck would not handle for s--t.
Second set...Coker Classic, big mistake, too much weight and once again

not round...imho marginally better than the Auburns. Not a happy truck above 55. What upset me the most was how the tread snaked, did not run true, when the wheel was spun,
Third set AMERICAN CLASSIC. That little truck drove all the way to 80ish like I had just redone the suspension. Zero shake or wander, close to perfect road manners, very smooth.
Just my two cents !
