I will never quite understand car builders/restorers, One of the first things they do when they start a restoration is go out and buy a nice set of tires/wheels. The tires and wheels are usually followed by a $3,000. sound system that sits in a box for ten years or more.
I always start out with a set of used tires in the size I intend to run on the vehicle, I mount the tires on used wheels that are also the size that I intend to use when the car is done. The sound system is usually the last thing to be installed.
As a general rule I discard better tires than what most people run on...

Your life and the life of the occupants, depends on the quality of the tires.
