Have my collection of old Ford tractors, but also wanted and old pickup. Well I bought a 1958 Chevy Apache pickup.
The gentleman I bought it from had put new tires on it about 15 years ago (maybe longer than that), but he hardly ran it on the road. The tires are the "L78 15 Polyester Tubeless" type. The tires are 3 inch whitewall, and have no tread ware, no cracks, they look in perfect condition. The spare has never been used.
Problem: Tires seem to be "out of round" and the truck does not run smooth. Had them balanced, but that helped only a little.
Question: Is there a way to have them returned to original condition?????
Is "Polyester" the problem?
Thank you in advance for you advice. David
