Here's the original owner's set of 1970 15x7 Cragars with the 1971 Parnelli Jones L60x15s in the rear and the 15x4 with F78x15 in the front. They are both 27" tall.

Great thing about those B-Body Mopars is that there is still 1-1/2" of clearance to the wheel well trim.

Very good point. What are the choices on front runner tires these days? Pro Trac 560-15 or 215/75/15 and standard type bias ply tires from Coker. Not sure of anything else. A Stahl tire would be a huge seller, IMO.

Firestone Drag 500 7.10-15 & 7.60-15 would be off the charts. Without a doubt the #1 front runner from the late 60's/early 70's. There were rumors this tire was going to be done from original molds but nothing so far. I'm not going to hold my breath.

As for a Stahl tire.... I can speak with a certain amount of authority that it will not be coming from Kelsey.

Kelsey has a 7.60-15 blackwall or a whitewall Custom Super Cushion bias,not Polyglas or Speedway wide treads.

A 7.10-15 is also available whitewall only.

I'm sorry to hear that. The Firestones would be cool too.

Anyone suggest a way to re-create these older tires look? I've seen lettering sanded down. I think I've also seen a transfer paper where you could create a logo and then rug it to transfer over on the tire. Its been about 12-15 years since I've seen it. Anyone care to coment?

Those Firestones are the mid 70's version. The ones I was refering to had a pie crust sidewall like 60's tires had and had raised white letters.
