1966 Tire Brands
I'm looking for input on the brands of tires originally available in 1966. Need to replace my street radials and don't want to pick an "off brand." Thanks Mike

The OEM manufacturers of the various tire styles are shown in the "Exterior" section of your 1966 Judging Guide. -

Mike:
According to information that I have, the following were OEM tire manufacturers for Corvette for 1966.
For blackwall and whitewall: Goodyear Power Cushion, Firestone Deluxe Champion, US Royal Laredo, and BF Goodrich Silvertown.
For goldlines: Firestone Super Sports, and Goodyear Power Cushion.

Mike:
In the latest edition of Hemmings, Lucas tire 800/952-4333 has Redline and Goldline Firestone Champions 7.75-15 for $99. These are not radial but instead the tire that was on the cars as delivered. These tires only put about 5 inches on the ground and are suitable for judging but I wouldn't sign up for any Road Tours on these tires. Good Luck !
