Thanks for the input guys.

I've looked very carefully (with a magnifying glass) at all those photo's, photos of the Goodyear tires of the day and countless other photos from every publication and internet site I could get my hands on.

And I pretty much concur with everything posted here

I've even got stuff from the Goodyear archives at the U of Akron.

And I agree with your input that G8's, Motorway Special tires and others were used on CSX 2000 after the Dean Moon shop midnight assembly thrash in Feb '62.

But CSX2000 in the Dean Moon shop photos is a challenge, as the tire in those photos has a smooth shoulder, while the Motorway Specials had a heavlly ribbed shoulder with alternating Goodyear "diamonds" between the ribs.

It has been suggested the tires may be a British Dunlop. Could be as shipped from AC factory and Shelby didn't take time to change them in his excitement and rush to get CSX2000 on the road.

The search for enlightenment continues.

Cheers
Greg
