Whatever you do, get those Eagle STs off of there ASAP. The tire industry recommends 10 years max for radials. I don't think those Eagle STs have been made for 20 years.
A tire can look perfect, but still delaminate and have the tread peel off due to age. This really makes a mess of fiberglass body panels when it happens at highway speeds. I actually saw it happen to a friends '70 LS5 vette with a 15 year old BFG that showed no indication of aging (cracks, etc).
Nice pics!
