Upgrading to modern wheels and tires on the hot rod was one of the best things I did to that car. Handling was so vastly improved that is hard to quantify.

I didn't want to have to change wheels to have fun. Then again, I don't drag race so there's no need for slicks.

Just make the car fun to drive at any time. It's no fun if you have to change tires every time you take it out.
