Upgrading my tyres

About Me

I bought a really cool 1970s car. It's been treated as a bit of a run-around and isn't living up to it's full muscle car glory. Bit by bit I'm working on all of the accessories and details to make sure it looks like it would have in it's glory days. Next step is to get some vintage looking tyres to help it look extra cool. Luckily these days a lot of companies are making vintage looking tyres that have the performance of a modern tyre. This blog is all about finding replacement tyres for an older muscle car that look good and don't sacrifice performance.
