you get a chance. Advertize in SCCA and Vintage Voice and the like. Me I run 
5.50-15 Bluestreaks...I love to drift those early apex's....and they look 
sooooo right.

Wow-
You mean Goodyear is still making treaded (Y6) bluestreaks? You mean I've 
been saving that set of 5.00X8.30-15W's for nothing, or are these something 
else?

It looks like I can run any treaded tire of 60 (or more) aspect ratio. Are 
the Bluestreaks or TD's faster or slower than something like 008r's, Kumhos 
or the like?

Not that I'm competitive or anything...
