I don't know how many of you are in my age bracket . . . say 65 to 70. These cars were nothing more than everyday transportation to us. Many of us owned one of these Muscle Cars that they purchased new and/or a few years old. And one thing many of them agreed upon was that RWL tires looked really cool . . . until you hit a curb with one of them.

It made such a mess of the RWLs that you couldn't fix like you could with a WSW or a Red Line using a Brillo Pad and a lot of Elbow Grease. It looked awful and required replacing the tire which hurt financially if there was plenty of tread left.

Today, we see RWL tires on so many Muscle Cars (whether they were actually available or not) and why not. These cars are show cars - if they are even driven at all. Not much chance of hitting a curb with them is there?


Maybe that's why cars today are mostly blackwalls . . . are people hitting curbs more today then yesteryear?
