That's the way that it should be. Tires should be retired because of lack of tread, not age.:D

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.

We have a 289 MK II customer who put over 600 miles on his car the first weekend he had it! That is how you do it...…………….

I feel I'm really not driving mine enough as if someone would ask what is wrong with it?

Although today's cars are faster than those of the golden age, they will never again have the mystique that a proper 60s muscle car did; raw horsepower in a very basic, big car with crummy tires, brakes and suspension, very little concern for safety but just dripping with American pride.
