New tires made a HUGE difference.
I just put on new Dunlop 255/60/R15s today and what a difference in smoothness and handling these made over my 11 year old 255/60 Remingtons-which still had very good tread left. I think they were starting go dry rot and develop hardspots.
Used to have a vibration around 65MPH and now shes smooth up to 85+ with no hint of anything. This is with out having any alignment work done either as the wheels/tires were removed from the car when I had them replaced.

Wheels and tires make the BIGGEST change of performance on a car.
My 1980 went from wandering buckboard waggon to go-cart racer when I went to the 17" wheels and tires.

That's great news. Tires really make a difference and old tires really can be dangerous. So, that's really cool.
