Vintage Tire Question

[Lynn]

As someone who has had a tire with "no cracks" come apart while going down the road, not sure I would drive highway speeds. I just took 4 tires to the shop to have mounted on my 53 Studebaker hard top, even though 3 of the 4 on the car have no cracks. They were mounted in 1986, and the car parked. I still want to drive the car from time to time, so new tires it is for me.

Still, those tires look freakin awesome.

I bought 5 reproduction Firestones (E70 15) from Don at a very good price, and have no regrets. They look OK, but for some reason, I like the look of the GY better.

Don't know what your vintage tires are worth, but I sold ONE that was virtually new (was a spare with evidence of the tits, but HAD at least been on the ground once) for $500 all by itself with no wheel. I would be surprised if you couldn't get $3k for the set of five. Having said that, be glad to trade you straight up for my 5 repro Firestones that are safe at highway speed. I would pay shipping both ways, or see you at MCACN. You would be nuts to accept.
