The Right Tire / Car Match

Possibly the only thing more flexible than the category of automobiles we call muscle-cars, is the acceptance of “correct tires.” While you can generally determine “musclecarness” by how the vehicle meets certain design, performance and chronological criteria, establishing what tires were original on your ride isn’t so easy.
