" I did drive a C63 AMG that had performance tires on it and I think 20" rims. Was like a go cart. But the suspension is so much more modern."
I'm not suggesting this applies here, but a somewhat related topic. A common complaint with ‘60s muscle cars is the lack of “feel” in the steering wheel compared to newer cars. See my posts #13 and #5 on the subject here: https://forums.maxperformanceinc.com...hlight=valving .

Maybe not easy to find at the local stores but Michelin does still produce their classic XWX. I believe 205, 215 and 225 widths in 70 section 15 inch are all available. Blackwall only of course.

From what I could find, the actual Firestone sight doesn't list any of the raised white letter 500 tires. Only the aftermarket places that have been linked in this thread showed a couple sizes available from what I could see.

i dont see them advertised on firestones website either. but i messaged one of the ebay sellers earlier this year asking if they were new, they said they are made new & guaranteed it.
i dont think amazon or walmart or other companies that carry these would or could sell old stock tires. some of the reviews on walmart say they have current DOT dates on the sidewall. |
