Yours was a lot faster than mine!
I used Atlas Bucrons on my first '56. Forgot about those. We could buy some that had been adjusted under warantee here for $15.00 each. had "ADJ" burned into then in the white wall with a branding iron. Turned the white wall to the inside anyway. Mounted on another pair if stock 15" steel wheels. Had me some "slicks". LOL
Changed them at the track with a bumper jack. Thought I had arrived. Set the track record for my class at 15.05, @ 90 MPH. Dang! Thought I was flying, running 90 MPH in the 1/4.
That was in 1961
