What vintage? Formula 1 Super Stock tires
 
8 Attachment(s)
Got two of these tires on a set of old Cragar skinnies I bought. Anyone know what is the approx. year range these tires would have been sold new? They are in great shape (other than dirty), so I would like to put on the Ansens on my 43 mile 67 Chevelle day-2 drag car if the tires are not "way too new". (They'd be better than what is on there now either way though.)

And if I do use them, I have a poll - Would you turn the white letters out, or run the blackwall side out? A couple pics of the car are included. Last pic is after professional wet sanding and buffing this weekend of the 100% original paint. (Still to be final hand rubbed and waxed!) Still has all the nicks and scratches from 4+ decades stored in a garage with junk piled all over it, but at least it's slick now!

Thanks! Jeff

Post DOT so I would guess newer than 1970. White letters out for me.

White out absolutely! I sure wish these were repopped since they were the go-to on a drag car.

White Letters Out! Sharp car !

These were typical to the 1970's and the date codes looks to be 10 digit so it would appear these are 24th week of 1974 (June).

White letters out is cool. Russell Rosales has a pair of these with the white walls out. Here's a shot of them on his 55.

Look like early 70’s? This ad was enough to get me to put a set on my Firebird Formula!! Seems the name was obvious choice also….

Paint looks great, white letters out.

Thanks everyone. 1974 is a little later than I would prefer, but they will definitely be better than the fronts that are on it now. And will go with white letters out! The rears are Max/Trac (by Mickey Thompson) cheaters from late 1966.

Polishing is done, came out pretty good!
