GM seemed to provide a lot of Uniroyal tires on the muscle cars.
A large % of the muscle Olds came with Uniroyal. I have 9 of the G70-14 most are NOS. I paid anywhere from $20 Ea to $350.00. They look great but I agree I would not travel anywhere on them.

Sounds like you had better get started talking to Coker tire!!!

Coker then has to start talking to Michelin (parent company of Uniroyal), finding tires to copy for a mold, test builds, DOT testing, etc.

With Coker already having the Firestones, I think you would be hard pressed to have them carry out this excercise, but by all means-- carry on. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

I think they would go over but would like to hear everyones coments including negative ones. I can't believe they have not been reproduced yet. If you look at the dates of tires on restored cars some are over 15 years old. In another 10 years there will be alot of reproduction tires on cars that are 25 years old and not safe to drive. Therefore people might replace their old tires if they could change the look of their car or make it more correct. Coker does not make a correct Firestone for a 69 vehicle do they?
