They Wear As Tough As They Look With snow on the ground, many people are probably living in the garage, working on something for next year (or this winter if you’re into snowmobiles). If you think that’s a dumb question, you’re a smart tire buyer. You know darn well you’d spend a few extra bucks to get a lot of extra mileage. And that’s what Formula Tires are all about. Beefy, brawny tires that wear as tough as they look. With exclusive 4+2 construction-4-ply polyester cord plus 2 fiberglass belts-with authentic European dog-bone racing tread, and with a special rubber compound that wears and wears. For how long? Well, in an independently conducted, fair & square test, our tread wore 80% longer than another leading 60 series tire. Over 12,000 extra miles, yet our tire is only around $5 more than theirs! So wheel in to an authorized Formula dealer and bolt on a set of our super stocky Super Stocks. The tire that looks better. Longer. Formula Super Stock’s were a big, menacing tire. From what I’ve read, they grabbed the ground pretty hard too. Especially after a greasy burnout to warm them up. It’s nice to think about it, as I like seeing fresh builds out on the street in the spring, the smell of fresh paint in the sun and interiors that may or may not be finished (it’s the last step and often one of the most expensive). Some have tight, freshly built engines, while others have a coat of spray paint and some cheap chrome to hide their age. One thing that I like just as much is seeing the cars that people put away decades ago, only getting them out once or twice a year for specific events. Don’t get me wrong; it’s a shame not to drive something more often, but, in a way, it’s cool to see a time capsule. Vans with murals and bubble windows, trucks with visors, roll bars, and the loudest, raspiest mufflers available back in the day, and cars that have forgotten speed parts from long ago. A lot of old go-fast parts have faded into obsolescence thanks to modern advancements and design that make them just that much better. Over the years, I’ve developed an affection for old intake manifolds that were supposed to be the Camshaft Corner best of the best but were quickly replaced by something KELLY KIRK simpler, better, and more affordable. I’ve collected some, sold some, and even run some. One thing that always catches my eye, but I would never run, is old performance tires. I almost bought a set of the tiniest pie crust drag slicks you’ve ever seen at a swap meet. They were about 25” in diameter, and were mounted on a rusty set of 14” Cragar SS wheels. Seventy-five bucks American would have taken them home, but they were a long roll all the way back to the truck, so I left them there. I was going to adapt them to fit my Austin Healey project at the time, just for cool-looking rollers, but I would have never driven on them. lmtimes.ca • Last Mountain Times • Monday, <strong>Nov</strong>ember <strong>28</strong>, <strong>2022</strong> CONTINUES ON PAGE 12 Coffee Break VIRGO WEEK OF NOVEMBER 27 HOROSCOPE TO DECEMBER 3, <strong>2022</strong> You won’t WEEK let things OF get to you this DECEMBER week.
