Default Re: Can you still buy Pos-A-Traction Tires?

Most of the "little" tire companies were bought up over the years by the bigger companies. Most if not all the bias ply molds are shot or were destroyed. I have Kelly Springfield Super Chargers on the back of the Mustang. Before Kelly was bought by Goodyear last year, I talked with a guy from KS that said even if they had the old molds I would have to buy something like 10,000 of them. They cannot shut down production lines and change tooling for a few tires. He doubted if the old tooling was even still available.
I finally found a NOS set from a guy in Hemmmings from a want ad I placed. Best bet is the swap meets/internet.
What size do you need??
Dave
