Firestone Deluxe Champion goldlines

[Philip A.]

Is anyone familiar with these tires? Are they reproductions? Where they available on Corvettes? What year?

The correct OEM Firestone Goldline from this period was Firestone Super Sport.......not Deluxe Champion.

Recommend Goodyear Power Cushions from Kelsey Tire (www.kelseytire.com).

A distant second recommendation is Firestone Super Sport Goldlines from Coker Tire. These tires look good, but may have balance or out-of-round issues for driving....based on Coker's previous history for reproduction tires. For judging, they should be fine....but be sure you like/approve of the goldline color, as some of their goldlines were more orange in color than most folks liked.

Two goldwall tire options were offered. Firestone Super Sports and Goodyear Power Cushion. So I would have to say yes that the Firestone Deluxe Champion goldwall tires are a reproduction.
