Interesting. There are at least a few people around that prefer
originality over roadability and handling. Its up to you I guess. Its
surprising to me that you can even get these tires.

Even more interesting! Odometers of the period were more accurate than
speedometers and usually within 1 or 2%. Some were "perfectly" accurate,
and it appears yours is one of them!

Certainly, but when we say at 70 mph constant cruising I get .... MPG, we
are trying to get the "driver variable" out. It may not be completely out,
but it is to some degree...
