New Tires OMG!!

Amazing use of Advanced Composites coupled to modern high alloy hub and rim!!

I believe these tires will be back on the market soon.

They are on the market for 40's and 50's vintage cars but are waay expensive esp for radials....like nearly $300 each.

I took that shot at a local concours. Interesting about the wood spokes with metal for the hub & rim - I guess the next technology step was steel spokes.

BTW - wood really is an amazingly evolved composite with very high performance criteria.

+1, and cardboard can be pretty stout as well used correctly.

Pontiac picked up that technology and modernized it for the 64 Grand Prix

It's time for a resurgence.
