F70 Firestone 9 rib Tires
Does any know where you can get the 'correct' Firestone 9 rib tires for my '68? I think the Coker tires are 7 rib. Thanks.

The 'Sound of Freedom' if not a UH-60 Blackhawk, then it must be a Corvette!

No reproductions are correct for Firestone. If you get real ones, and they are for a 68/69, make sure you get the short DOT codes if you plan on having them judged.Kramden -

Is the best option then Goodyears? I have red lines and want to continue getting it judged. Thanks for your insights.Bill Hyndman

For sure, the Goodyears are the most authentic but...there will still be a deduction for incorrect date(s).KramdenComment

Bill, I think you will find Kelsey Tire http://www.kelseytire.com/pages/preformancetires.html will give you the best reproduction bias ply tire for your '68. There will still be a slight deduction.Terry Buchanan
