Tuto: Car look fantastic. Love the look.

Question..what is the history of Avon tires? Do they have any historical connection to the Cobra?

I checked my Bill Boards this week. No cracks at all. I try to run the car every weekend though to keep everything circulating. The worst thing for a car is to let it sit. Even if I put 20-30 miles on a weekend just to keep things flowing. The only time it sits is from approximately Decmeber to April due to the winter. First salting is the end until spring and a few rains.

My BB are about 6-7 years old and show no cracking at all but Bernica's little story has me a little concerned now. However, in reading his post again he saw the cracks but didn't change the tires and let them continue to sit. Berni, seems to me you should have changed them out at first sign of cracking. I would have changed them immediately.

I'm thinking of putting on Avons in the spring and stenciling the BB letters on with white tire paint. Seems like a plan.

What do you guys think????

Thanks.
