Funny, how the rear tires on our cars wear out much faster then the front's

I had a uncle that brought a new (65-66?) Fury with a Hemi, 3-speed on the floor . His wife couldn't fathom how they went though 3-pairs of rear's to only one pair on the front

As a 12yo I was awe-struck by the way this car threw you back in the seat, with just 7.45-14 tires. Cheers.
