Re: Day 2 tires--- WANTED Reproduction Stahl Fronts!
Very good point. What are the choices on front runner tires these days? Pro Trac 560-15 or 215/75/15 and standard type bias ply tires from Coker. Not sure of anything else. A Stahl tire would be a huge seller, IMO.

Firestone Drag 500 7.10-15 & 7.60-15 would be off the charts. Without a doubt the #1 front runner from the late 60's/early 70's. There were rumors this tire was going to be done from original molds but nothing so far. I'm not going to hold my breath.

Re: Day 2 tires--- WANTED Reproduction Stahl Fronts!
As for a Stahl tire.... I can speak with a certain amount of authority that it will not be coming from Kelsey.
Kelsey has a 7.60-15 blackwall or a whitewall Custom Super Cushion bias,not Polyglas or Speedway wide treads. A 7.10-15 is also available whitewall only.

Re: Day 2 tires--- WANTED Reproduction Stahl Fronts!
I'm sorry to hear that. The Firestones would be cool too.
Anyone suggest a way to re-create these older tires look? I've seen lettering sanded down. I think I've also seen a transfer paper where you could create a logo and then rug it to transfer over on the tire. Its been about 12-15 years since I've seen it. Anyone care to coment?

Those Firestones are the mid 70's version. The ones I was refering to had a pie crust sidewall like 60's tires had and had raised white letters.
