I'd be interested...

If they made a true N 50 15 for the back , and a nice 15 inch 70 series for the front.

I'd buy a couple of sets.

Today.

I missed out on the run of Mickey Thompson Indy Profile tires that summit and some others were offering a few years ago.

I wish they would make another run of those, too.

Super Stock Formula 1 tires were black wall on one side and raised white letters on the other IIRC.

Those magazine ads make me feel like a child looking at the Sears Christmas catalog. Modern RWL radial tires (TA Radial - the Cooper Cobra)are nice but simply not available in the same sizes as the N and L old school rating. A 275 60 15 is almost an L 60 15. But there is no equal to the N 50 15. A metric equal would be a 325 50 15 which is available in a modern soft compound black wall tire but not in a long wearing RWL configuration.


Keep old mopars alive.

you are correct. i remember picking up sets of those that guys used too much offset on their wheels, and chewed up the letters, but not the sidewalls. those letters were thicker than the polyglas or other white letter tires of the day.
even with john force style burnouts, those tires lasted way longer than mickey t's.
