Question Tires

I have a 1962 Grand Prix & need to purchase new tires. Would like to get white walls but probably have to buy Cooker's. Has anyone had any dealing with them & how are their tires. Thanks.

Cool Country music

Who can beat Johnny Cash?? Probably the best country singer ever. Todays Country isn't country, it's screaming. True country actually told a story & you could really understand the words.
