Default Re: Firestone Redline Reproduction Tires

As for the Goodyear tires, some have used the original molds, but you have to realize that as time went on, there were running line changes. Perfect example is the Goodyear Eagle GT in 215/65/15.... During this tires run from 1982 to 1988, there were 15 documented changes to the tire.

As with many reproduction items, there are compromises made. I know Kelsey spends a great deal of time and effort putting as much of the proper detail in every tire to make the best product he can possibly have made.
