John..thanks...

Have contacted John and he will shoot some close ups. Am in contact with Firestone for some info from their archives. Appears the 170 series started in 1955. and then later became the 170 T series in 1959.

Here are tire pictures of three different series of Firestone Super Sport 170's.

The 170's were standard equipment on the 1956 St. Louis Production SR-1's. They were used on various General Motors and private race applications including 1956 Sebring.

John...you're the best!

I also now have the blueprints..if there is enough interest I will have some made.

These were used on the Duntov SS Racer and I have some high resolution pictures from the Noland Adams collection.
