So, I decided to change my tires. The tire dealer is a good friend of mine, the only matching set of tires he could find were Michellin XGT Pilots. Even though the NCT's hade exactly 485 miles on them they were more dry rotted than I thought. Once removed, I stepped on the sidewall of one of them and exposed a Huge crack between the treads. They only thing I would recommend to you guys with original tires or old ones is change them! I was kinda freaked, the last thing anyone wants is to get killed or wreck their car because they want to maintain its originality. I did keep the old tires though, they are just going up on the shelves of my garage. It makes one think though, about the keeping the car original. Im glad PJ Grady performed all the recalls and electrical updates on the car, Id hate to risk an electrical fire or whatever just because I was considering keeping it 100% original. I hope Im not mis-informing anyone about the updates but It was my impression that they cant be performed if the car is to compete in competition. As a side note, I had no idea the car would handle quite as good as it does with the pilots.
