New Shoes for the 59

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.

Love that car Bill! Still have the Purdue sticker on it?

Did you keep it black wall with the new shoes?

Yes, second pic is with the Indy 500 Firehawks.

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.
