Pretty sure these are the same tires Dick Spadaro offered on this site before his passing. Would be great for a restoration.

I don't guess anyone would actually run them would they?

Just checked that out. Bargain, only R28,000 in my money.
If I earned that much I'd be on vacation every second month. :-D :-D :-D :-D

I'd run 'em at 300.
You guys haven't seen some of the s#*t we had to use when we couldn't get tires. Don't think for a minute that those days couldn't happen again.

  Seth Hammond amongst others (if memory serves) used to fill in the cracks with black rtv sealant before a run..................   Bob

We went 400 on those 60's Firestone's in the 90's before the late model Mickey's were available. These have obviously been stored correctly, I'd run them!
