Not Ranked
"Tars"
Notice that the car in the photo Cal posted is running WHITEWALLS on the rear. I understand this was somewhat common in the 50's. The Max B. "Ol' Yeller" ran on Allstate whitewalls because they were the softest compound tire they could find and gave better grip than some of the then current racin' tars.
Mighty stylish to boot!
