Using up the last 1/16" of the old Hoosier TD's before installing a new set of Firestone Firehawks.
This is the first time ever I've had modern radials on this car and oh my, I should have done it a long time ago... 15" choices are very limited, it was between these and the BF Goodrich Radial T/A, which I've run on many muscle cars. I got the last set of these Firehawk Indy 500's in town. Tire Rack testimonials pretty much had these ahead of BFG in all aspects.

Thanks, and yes. That sticker pre-dates 1974, not sure it would even come off.
It's definately old school.

Guessing there is no excuse for you to not show up at C&C now.
