Default New Tires.

New tires really brighten up my car. Firestone 1" WW for $106.00 each mounted and balanced. I bought them at a local garage after telling them what I wanted. Walmart has them also so you can avoid delivery charges. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Firestone...l13=&veh=semAl W.

I have 2 sets of those, they are actually not a bad tyre all things considered. The Firestone place I got them from told me they were stopping the white wall (but still making the tire) some time ago, did they have a fresh date of manufacture ?

Thank You, Tom. We have owned this car since 1972. Bought her for $1700, against my wife's wishes! Back in the day it was the family chariot with four kids too. We had a Glaspar G3 Ski boat and dragged it around with us. Towed it through Harlem one night with the side pipes Blaring! Had the whole family on board. The Mrs. was not happy! Al W.
