Man, over a $1,000 for a set ?
I love the looks and want them but,......%/ |

Yea, mine were around $1k/set, but if you want ultimate grip, I mean a race tire (now I know why those guys swerve back and forth to heat up their tires) then this is it. I used to be able to chirp the tires in 3rd and now I can't break them loose under 2500 in 1st. It feels like it wants to do a wheel stand. I only put 2000 miles on the car a year, so they'll age out before they wear out. And I don't drive if there's any chance of rain. |
FWIW:
Years ago I put the Blue Streaks on and drove on the street for a while. Pros: They looked good. They stick like glue. Cons: I had 4 flats in 250 miles. The tread is extremely thin. They pepper the rear fender with grit. They may be predictably dangerous on a wet street. I now use them for some occasional track driving. A few years ago I mounted the Billboard tires for street use. Pros: They look great. The tread height is great for street driving. No flat, yet. Con: It's also a sticky tire and peppers the rear fender, but somewhat less than the Blue Streak tire. Just some more 'patina'. David |
The Billboards are what I want, I talked to someone yesterday that when he goes to a track event, he;ll see if he can get me a good used set. With us racing sprint cars, when the Outlaws come to town, they race in the hot laps and maybe, a heat race and throw them away. :JEKYLHYDE
So, if any.....of you go racing, please remember me if you see a good set being thrown away ! Maybe I should use our sprint Hoosiers on my cobra. :LOL: |

For street driving, I'm not so sure I'd want a set that has seen several heat cycles either. Tires are one area where I never cut corners (no pun intended). |

Hey guys,
I don't know if anyone is still looking for the GoodYear vintage tires but I have some GoodYear Blue Streak Vintage tires that are used but still have FULL Rubber left. The sizes I have are: 5.5x15 600x15 700x15 800x15 $70 each + shipping Picture coming soon. I know I don't have many posts here but I have been working used tires for some time on other forums: Hoosier Koni Grand Am Series Race Tires - Bimmerforums - The Ultimate BMW Forum |
I'm checking with a friend that may want a set. I'll let you know.
