I haven’t heard that, but it makes
sense. Tires have always been a mystery to me.
The most unusual story I’ve ever heard revolves around NASCAR. In 1963,
prior to the Daytona 500, the Wood Brothers driver Marvin Panch was burned
severely in another race, and was pulled from his burning car by another driver
named Tiny Lund. Panch later asked the Wood brothers if they would allow Tiny Lund
to take his ride at Daytona in the #21 1963 ½ Galaxie 427. They agreed. Not only did Tiny Lund win the Daytona 500
that year, but the newly introduced 427 Fords finished 2,3,4,and 5th.

Imperialists, In
a recent discussion with my tire man who was rotating the Coker's on my
'56 Imperial, I noted the 'swirls' and the apparent cracking on the sidewall's
which I diligently maintain, these despite only about 5,000 miles on
them. His response was that the 'Tire Clean' products are the cause of
this as they are silicone-based and expedite the drying out of the
tire. He said a wipe shine of clean oil or even WD-40 --or
anything petroleum-based-- is the only thing to use on tires. Clean with
soap and water and if that isn't yet a 'look' you desire, then it is oil to
achieve the shine. Any
thoughts on this? Jack
