Thanks so much for all the kind replies. And not they are not retreads as my buddy sold me the tires who works at Pep Boys and they are one of their best tires. They have been on the car at least 5 years. As for me I am real sick today and getting ready to go to the Docs as I got the sore throat and a touch of the flu I believe. I cant thank all of you here enough. I was just lucky to be in the right place at the right time about a year ago when the photo guy John saw my car and said Mopar Muscle was looking for cars like mine. Thank you all for the kind props. wave Ron
