The tires were one of the reasons I started on this journey. I took the car out of storage and figured the old bias ply treads were too far gone. I couldn't see getting new tires on a shot suspension and tub... and the restoration was on. I didn't go with powder coating, the material just looks too thick to me, and I went with a very nice but inexpensive 165R15 radial. I can't wait to drive them!
