Wearing a heart on one's sleeve refers to a person who freely expresses his or her emotions and doesn't conceal or hide them (hence, wears their heart/emotions on their sleeve for everyone to see).
A "tire kicker" is someone who is indecisive about purchasing a product or service, and never feels satisfied with what they are offered. In the end a tire kicker may or may not buy. The term comes from sales people at car dealerships. Tire kickers would come around frequently, kick the tires a few times on the cars that they liked, but never make a solid purchasing decision on any particular car or trim.

Hear on my sleeve is having your emotions all out in the open for everyone to see.
Kicking a tire was done to see if the tire would move..meaning it was a pile of junk.
These were common expression in the '60's
