Never even considered skinny redlines for my RR, but it's a "day-2" deal and blows off even a set of 295/50R15s in 1st & 2nd. Gotta be GYs for the 100% guys, though. Hell, for $450, someone could make redlines in a more traction-oriented compound, couldn't they.....

I have the original Goodyear spare for my car and have collected 4 h wheels over the years waiting for tires, so I will probably get a set. I really love the look of the Goodyears. I have got use to being broke doing this car, so what is the difference. I just ordered up a shoebox of engine trinkets from Frank Baldason and it was over $800. No knock of Frank, he was a pleasure on the phone and an asset to a restorer especially with A12's, it is what it is. Rick.

RICK,before you order them wait a little while, i have a email into kelsey showing the displeasure of everyone who ones a A12 car on moparts. if no one buys them at that price either they will drop in price to sell some or they will just go away altogether. when they say they did arun of them, i wonder how many were made, im think ing 500 or 1000 tires.

I do know that living in MO and having a dealers license he has given us a break on some tires. I can't say wheather or not he is making a profit on these, but you do have to figure that he may only sell around 200-300 sets. Since most cars will only see one set for the rest of their lives, that leaves very few resells. Still a good retail sum, but we don't know what the expense of the mold is.

gtx6970 Too Many Posts Joined: Jun 2003 Posts: 21,914 Enjoy life today, It has an ex...	comparing the E60-15 to the G70-15 isn't a fair comparison/ As far as I know the only other car to use the G70-15 was a late 60's big bodied GM, I'm thinking maybe impala???? The E60-15 was used on all kinds of intermediate cars from GM and AMC - so your sales potential is much greater. As far as an initial production run, I would lean towards less than 500 tires total. And if they don't sell my bet is it's the only run Talk to Jim Miner and see if a group buy is possibile. He's a Goodyear store owner( aka Kelsey tire sales outlet ) AND a vintage Mopar owner Enjoy life today, It has an expiration date

Chris: I think that you are one of two people that have replied that they would buy a set at these insane prices so I wouldn't worry about a sell out There will no doubt be a surplus and eventually a sale! Don't feel cheap guys it's pretty much the same reaction on the A12 Forum KID

[/quote I seem to remember one of those vettes having them also. I thought a 67 427 car, but I could be wrong. Restoring a car to look "only" as good as the factory made it is like getting a boob job for your wife and having the doctor make them two different sizes to seem more natural

I wonder if they have made an initial run or if they are waiting for orders? I think the A12's are the only market...and, especially at that price, you would have to believe that the sales are not going to be too brisk! Whatever the case may be, they may be hard to come by after the initial run because of lack of response at that price?
