For polling purposes, how many of you who are serious about the look of DAY TWO, NOSTALGIA, RACE and or STREET on your cars would like to see this brand of tire come back on the market? I have the ear of the engineers over at Coker Tire and they would need a certain amount of serious interest in order to make a run. This process could take a few months or even a few years, but the faster we get on board with them, the faster these could come to market. Aside from the raised white letter tires from Dunlop, Goodyear Ploy-glas and Firestone Wide Oval tires, I think the Super Stock/ Formula 1 tires were one of the best looking performance tires on the market. Remember also that they made thin front runner tires such as the ones below.
Let an ear hear, what say ye?

I’m in! Skinny fronts and fatties in the back. Best looking tire ever!

I would be in for a set of the skinny's!

I'd love those skinny fronts and L 60-15 rears on a set of those Keystones for my Bee. I've loved this look since my buddy's 71 R/T back in 78, he had Super Stocks in front and I think Mickey's in the rear with Keystone Custo-mags. Ron

Cars just look super cool with them tires on. It is true though, that when the tires came onto their own and were the new rage, a good portion of cars from the early to mid 60's which still obviously running around, started wearing them. I would suspect that by 70'-71' the tires were everywhere. I believe they came on the scene in 68'-69'

Pretty sure they came out in the mid 70's. The first White letter tire on a factory car was 69 I think. G60X15 came out in 70 and was about as big as it got for a couple of years. They bring back memories but not enough that I would buy a set.
