Pass the word along--- I can take care of the 'Vette guys if they want those tires!!! And yes, they are pricey!!!

7.75-15's... this size was also used on some Shelby Mustangs.

They truly are a work of art!!!

Blue Streak was the name Goodyear used on its high performance tire line. The 900-14 tires on the 1960 Chrysler 300F, although a white wall was known as a blue streak because of its speed rating.
Blue streaks were available on Hemi Satelites in 1966, and those did have a blue sidewall, but not all sizes had the raised lettering.
Goodyear later used the blue streak name on its police radials introduced in early 1970's.

The '66 Shelby had their own Blue Streak.

The '65/'66 Shelby also wore a 775/15 Blue Dot Power Cushion.

You are correct my mistake as had them mixed up backwards. Going to call you tomorrow for a set of no size F70-14 Polyglas. Nice to see you are frequenting the 428 Registry. I had linked you over a couple of years back and now see you have some friends there as well.
