Thanks Rich. I see old tires available here and there (including Dunlop
RS5s) that meet the concours standards but are just not safe due to their
age. Now, if I just wanted to get the rating I guess I could buy these, put
them on restored wire rims, and trailer my car to events. I don't think
that makes sense. Whatever I do it will need to be safe and that eliminates
all the older tires-unfortunately. If by chance someone did have a great
set of 5 rims with safe tires mounted, I am very interested. I am more
likely to buy new tires and mount them. All ideas are welcomed including
advice on how to restore old original wires.
Regards,
Daniel A Stromquist

I believe Dan's subject line was wheels, not tires.
