Thread: Followup post on wheels and tires for 41` coupe

Tweet

Given the 10 year law, why buy the wheels and tires so early in the build? There is plenty of time after the body and fenders are mounted to make the measurements.....but still time to change the rear axle, reposition the axle, etc. IF the frame is anything like a TCI, the rear axle will probably not be centered to the wheel wells. No need to get the clock ticking on your 10 year tire life. Buy trash skinny
tires to roll stuff around on....besides, tire and wheel fashion will probably change by the time the body is ready for paint.

Just last week, we too our shop truck in for new front tires only..... tire store would not touch the truck since the four rear tires were over 10 yr old but still in excellent shape. They did accept the two front tires after I took them off the truck and hauled them in.....I am surprised they didn't check the tires on my pickup that I used to haul them in.......damn gubberment meddling.
