A properly balanced set of wheels and tires, with correct alignment will give you a more confident feel.
I strongly suggest the use of RADIAL TIRES..........touring type, soft sidewalls, grippy rubber, run well in rain, stops better.
You will never run bias ply again. You turn the wheel, car goes where you want it too, not like Bias ply that has you wandering all over the place following the ruts in the roads.
Believe the leader in vintage looking tires is coker
make sure your steering box is up to snuff with almost no play in the wheel.
happy motoring
