How Old Are Your Tires?

Here’s a riverside for ya! Evidently didn’t like the sitting in the sun that day!

At least it will be easy to change that one!

We had Riversides on the Tudor. I loved those tires and the looks of them. Wish they made them for Model A's again I'd buy a set in a heartbeat.
 
The tires on the Model A that I recently brought home are perty old. A mix of Firestone Deluxe Champion Gum-Dipped tires and Sears ALLSTATE tires. I drove that first 25 miles of country road on them, worried that they'd burst at any point. But, it didn't happen.

Hey Phil nice looking Mach 1, '69's are the best:) I'm prejudiced on '69's because that is what we have! That quad headlight setup they used is pretty unique.

I should have sent that set to you to use! Terry from the front end shop sold them off on the cheap to a guy with a '67 Malibu, he told him the story and to be careful, and the guy took them anyway!

Thanks, I've had that one a long time. Got it in 1978, the original owner got it new but his wife wanted a more "family friendly" car ( little one on the way in 78) so they got a little Toyoda wagon and sold the Mach 1. Often wondered if he wishes that they kept it:rolleyes:
Big FE 427 motor (452 cid) 4 speed 4:11 in the back, it's fun, like the "A" fun but a different fun :eek:
