You know you’re a real car nerd when you start paying attention to the tires on old cars. It drives me slightly mad to see something vintage on modern tires. It’s like an anachronistic detail in a period film that’s just prominent enough to suspend your disbelief. (The 1973 Porsche 911 in Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time In Hollywood, which is set in 1969 springs to mind). There are, thankfully, others who think like me, and in recent years, a budding classic car tire business has emerged.
