Builder Series: Landsail X Sin City Muscle Cars
2025/05/30
Landsail partner Sin City Muscle Cars is known for their meticulous, award-winning restorations which balance eye-catching design with purposeful mods for ride comfort and real-life drivability.
We use [Landsail Tires] on about half of our fleet right now. They’ve been really, really holding up very well.
Sin City Muscle Cars: A Family Obsession!
Sin City’s journey started with a love of cars and a 1969 Camaro, which owner Jerry Shabat’s mother gifted him. His family didn’t have much money at the time, Jerry recalls, so the Camaro took several years to rebuild, and he considers this the start of the journey that resulted in his business, Sin City Muscle Cars. Around 20 years ago, he started getting into Mustangs, and 10 years ago, the family business, Sin City Muscle Cars was founded. It’s a true family business, with Jerry taking on most of the fabrication and assembly work, Jerry’s brother Peter doing the bulk of the mechanical work, and Jerry’s wife Rebecca heading up the specs and design of the cars. In 2024, one of their builds, a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Fastback that they’ve named “Remi”, won Best of Show at Muscle Cars at the Strip Las Vegas, an annual muscle car enthusiast event with over 500 entrants from all 50 states and Canada!
Form & Function
Rebecca explains their approach to their work, balancing form and function. “While we want them to look nice, we still want them to be drivable, we want them to be comfortable, we want them to be fun to take to shows … a lot of these muscle cars, they look great, but they're not functional. So my job is to make sure they’re still functional and fun to ride in.”
To do this, she says, they use products like Dynamat, a sound-dampening insulation material, ceramic coatings to protect the custom exterior paint, and restomod-style gauges with lights inside, so drivers can better see how fast they’re driving. Sin City Muscle Cars also uses Landsail Tires on their builds, saying “They play a very important part in our builds, and they work with us throughout the year on specifications and performance, and they are definitely as much integrated in our builds as our team here.”
Landsail’s Partnership with Sin City Muscle Cars
Sin City has been a Landsail Brand Partner since 2019, and Jerry says they have been impressed with how well Landsail’s tires have stood up to the Las Vegas heat. “We have extreme heat in Vegas, we have it go up to 130 degrees, the pavement reaches 150, and we’ve had no issue with them whatsoever…. we use them on about half of our fleet right now, they’ve been really, really holding up very well.”
While the staff at Sin City love the low profile look, they opt for Landsail’s LS588 UHP tires, which Rebecca says strikes the balance between a good look and a nice ride. They also typically stagger the wheel sizes for aesthetic reasons, and because of Landsail’s wide range of sizes, they are still able to match them to get approximately the same size walls.
Landsail’s LS588 Ultra-High Performance Tires
There’s a good reason Sin City Muscle Cars keeps using these tires on their builds!
Landsail’s LS588 UHP tire is an ultra-high performance tire that was designed to accentuate high-performance automobiles, from luxury sports cars to modern muscle cars. Speed-Rated V, W and Y, the highest speed ratings available for street tires, the LS588 UHP also comes in multiple staggered fitments for visual impact and enhanced driving performance.
The LS588 UHP’s features include Performance Grooves for ultra-high performance handling and traction in cornering, and a Dry Traction Shoulder for enhanced dry traction, steering, and sport performance while also dissipating heat. The specially formulated LS Silica Compound increases tread flexibility in low temperatures and improves traction on wet surfaces for better control and reduced rolling resistance.
For extra control in wet conditions, this All-Season tire’s sipes and groove placement force water away from the center of the tire, reducing hydroplaning, and the LS588 UHP demonstrates better than average traction in light mud and snow conditions with the M+S Rating. For ride comfort, the LS588 UHP was designed with tread pitch width and alignment at optimum angles for wind resistance and minimized road noise, allowing performance drivers to truly relax and enjoy the ride.
Landsails LS588 UHP is backed by a 50K Mileage Warranty as well as Road Hazard Coverage.
As Jerry Shabat says, “We used LS588 tires on all our cars…we’ve been doing a lot of burnouts and they’ve been holding up great…go check out our YouTube video when we did the burnouts…. we just left rubber everywhere!”
