I took Jim up on his advice -- and more! I bought a set of Cornell
radials and Portawalls from Lucas, then shlepped on down to the Pomona
Hot Rod Farm, where Jim did the installation for me. What a treat to
see 275 feet of wall to wall cars! Here's some pix:

More pix soon, with the tires on Faulkner.

back to the tire trials....
something nobody mentioned, and an item i just used today mounting
a new set of radials for a 58 belv future daily driver
replacement.... GOOD OLD PORTAWALLS! lucas tire sells them,
about $30 a set.... they dont leak, fly out, or do anything weird
like some people say, that is if you put them on right.... i have
a set of my 59 fury, after i wasted an NOS set of WWW bias plys
[my last little narrative] i put about 6,500 miles so far on this
set of radials.... if you go on youtube, you can see that car do a
burnout down to the steel cords and simultaneously pop both rear
tires- the portawalls never flew off until they hit the ground!
anyway, this 58 wont get that kind of abuse, but they turn the
4/$100 pep boys radials into wide whites!
