Firestone FIREHAWK radials if you look closely at the larger photo you can see the blacked out "FIREHAWK".

No, someone blacked out the "FIREHAWK" part of a modern radial to make them look more like the vintage original bias ply. If you look at the "I" and "K" you can even see some white trying to peek out.

The Firehawks are no longer available. Should put the proper Goodyear Speedway 350's on it when done with those tires..Just sayin'!
