The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Why don't we get a decent mileage from our tires?

When a tire shop installed a new set of 16" "Firestone" tires, from Coker, on my '35, he was amazed at the poor quality of the tires. The tubes, from China, also leaked.
They just don't sell the quanity, to make a quality tire. With the low production, it would just cost too much to make. We wouldn't want to pay the price.
