The first set of tires I ever bought were recaps for my 1960 VW bug. That 36 HP (when new) monster engine had a 0-60 of maybe, if there is a tailwind, but not a headwind or any sort of incline. On flat ground and no wind it was 72 seconds to get to 60, after 100,000 miles on the engine.
A full set of 4 tires, mounted balanced and tax and everything was under 30 bucks. They were still in good shape when I sold the car.
When I bought the super powerful 73 Super Bug with 60 HP, and knew I needed some grip, so I replaced the bias ply tires it came with with some radials.
