What vintage? Formula 1 Super Stock tires
 

Got two of these tires on a set of old Cragar skinnies I bought. Anyone know what is the approx. year range these tires would have been sold new? They are in great shape (other than dirty), so I would like to put on the Ansens on my 43 mile 67 Chevelle day-2 drag car if the tires are not "way too new". (They'd be better than what is on there now either way though.)

And if I do use them, I have a poll - Would you turn the white letters out, or run the blackwall side out? A couple pics of the car are included. Last pic is after professional wet sanding and buffing this weekend of the 100% original paint. (Still to be final hand rubbed and waxed!) Still has all the nicks and scratches from 4+ decades stored in a garage with junk piled all over it, but at least it's slick now!

Thanks! Jeff

Post DOT so I would guess newer than 1970. White letters out for me.

White out absolutely! I sure wish these were repopped since they were the go-to on a drag car.

White Letters Out! Sharp car !

These were typical to the 1970's and the date codes looks to be 10 digit so it would appear these are 24th week of 1974 (June).

White letters out is cool. Russell Rosales has a pair of these with the white walls out. Here's a shot of them on his 55.

I bought a new set in 1977.

Look like early 70’s? This ad was enough to get me to put a set on my Firebird Formula!! Seems the name was obvious choice also….

Paint looks great, white letters out.

Thanks everyone. 1974 is a little later than I would prefer, but they will definitely be better than the fronts that are on it now. And will go with white letters out! The rears are Max/Trac (by Mickey Thompson) cheaters from late 1966.

Polishing is done, came out pretty good!

Most Formula Super Stock Ads included Mopars but here's one w/ a Camaro.
Tough angle but what indicates more than 70-73 Z-28...'71 up seats?:hmmm:

That induction system on top of that big block looks amazing. I don't understand how they could make stuff like that work back in the day without wideband etc.

this is what is on my yenko deuce
original owner robert kempon said he put the formula ones on in 1972?

they are still on the orignal yenko rims
i love the look of them and car drive great with them on
white letters out for sure in my opinion

dont know how to add pics to this type of thread?
thx

Thanks everyone, and those are some great old print ads !!!!

i bought a set of formula 1 super stocks for my trans am in 1977.
best looking tire ever in my opinion.
somewhere i have a picture of the car sitting still with them on it. here is a picture out of my yearbook of my trans am and the other is a picture i drew on the back cover of my english book of my car with formula ones on it. then decided it was too nice to leave so i tore the back cover off and kept it. (had to pay for the book lol but it was worth it)

I had a set on my 69 Roadrunner in high school. Loved the tread pattern and the look of them
