Default Re: FIRESTONE F70-15 SUPER SPORT WIDE OVAL RED LINES

------Mike,,,This may help or may not. How far out towards the tread is the stripe??? Early Firestone wide ovals had the stripe way out towards the edge and soon after the stripe moved towards the bead. I think it was because there was less flexing of the sidewall closer to the bead so ultimatly there was less seperation or cracks in the stripe. These early tires would be extremely rare and I expect valuable. If the stripe is early the tires are definetly 68 and not 78. Im not sure when the stripe migrated towards the bead but when I picked up my new 1969 Vette in early October the tires had already changed.......Bill S
