the Indy 500's ride much better and better traction, than T/A's
They also look just as good, if not better
When did Goodyear Indy 500's first hit the market?

Just a FYI to all I have a friend that owns a Large tire store and there has been 5 price increase's so far this year and there is only like 3 max in any given year and guess when the next one is coming .... June 1st and I was told there are more coming this year and most are trying to get rid of 14" and 15"

Oh and what's really bad about doing that is; you see those yellow paint marks on the tires well that's marked by the tire manufacture to indicate the lightest point on the tire so that the (yellow mark) gets positioned at the tire valve which is the heaviest position on the wheel to minimize the amount of weight that might need to be added to balance the wheel and tire.....now if you think that's not a cost savings for an automobile manufacture think of 1969 Road Runners that they made over 80,000 of them times (X) 4-wheels per car and if it saved just one weight per car..............I'd like to have the coin saved for 80,000 lead weights

THANKS for the nugget of info. I was unaware of the significance of the yellow marking!

They were the BEST looking radial tire. Best looking tire period is the Goodyear Polyglass but not everyone wants to run bias plys.
