vintage tires that need to be reproduced

Someone need to reproduce the old marsh racing slicks, The have double whitewalls and the most extreme pie crust ever on a tire (like 2"). I have an old pair but they are dry rotted, came off a '57 ford gasser from the 60's, i'll have to get a pic of them.

 

they need to make these.

Can someone post a pic of these goodyear blue streak dragway specials! I don't know what they look like. And also, not starting anything here but back in the 60's what would you have put on a 65 gto other that stock, I know I'm going to get slaped for this one, But worth a try.

 

No joke. These tires look great on a short bed pick up too. I'm tired of the big wheel rubber band tire look that's popular now.

 

Hey I just google the goodyear blue streak dragway specials, and found a pic of one one display at a mustang show with a sign --Goodyear borrowed an original 695x14 Blue Streak <NOBR style="COLOR: darkgreen; FONT-SIZE: 100%; FONT-WEIGHT: normal" id=itxt_nobr_2_0>tire</NOBR> from Brent Galloway's '66 Shelby GT350 to create this prototype for reproductions that will be available soon--- this was from the 33rd Mid-America Performance Ford And Shelby - Shelby Stampede.

Ok me bad that is not a dragway specials, are there two kinds.

 

I'd like to see Firestine Lightning 7 inch drag slicks (they had a lightning style tread) reproduced--they came on the 1964 Thunderbolts.

 

did any one mention the "GOODYEAR DOUBLE EAGLE"

 

I will second.
Yup, 5.00-16 and 7.00-16 with the the vintage look on the outside, built on a passenger car radial carcass (not some 8 or 10 ply truck carcass), tubeless, that are round, and can be balanced would do it for me.

Firestone Town & Country "Radial" Out of Production

This is a N.O.S. Blackwall

HURST RACING TIRES

 

Does anyone know what this car model is?

 

I just started a webpage for locating or selling obsolete tires.

Firestone Bonneville tires. 18" and 16"..

 

wow... great idea...

 

I agree!! Here is the only original set I've ever seen...

found it on another post... Ford Consul Classic 315 sedan

 

Not a repro, but a tall, mid-profile high-performance radial in a relatively skinny width, for instance something like a 185/60R19. That'll give the general proportion in side elevation of, in this case, a 4.50x19 but with a bit more performance potential. I'm looking for tall skinnies that'll fill front fenders in a Vintage way.

I was about to say a 275/60R15 in something better than an S speed rating, but cursory investigation reveals that Nitto do a 275/60R15V.

 

Three votes for the Marsh pie-crust cheater slick..cam twistin, tire smokin, et droppin, etc.

 

Round Firestones.

 

I would have to add my vote for the M/T Indy S/S, they wore well while offering decent street traction. The M/T Sportsman I's would be a close second they were a better traction tire but were not offered in large enough sizes.

 

x2.

 

Thery dont look ANYTHING like the late sixties blue streak sports car specials or wet indys that everyone is talking about, they have the modern painted on goodyear logos.

 

These are what everyone is talking about. THE late sixties hot rod tire...

 

Yes, Blue Streakssssss!!! Especially drag slicks, in 15"x8, 15"x10 & 16"x12"

 

if someone did the slicks, I would want to see 10.5x16.

 

^Sure, them too. Someone needs to bring sexy back!

 

During the mid-50's there were colored sidewall tires produced...green, blue, red, yellow... not port-walls. Never saw any but one old timer was talking about 'em last week.
