Firestone wide oval tires
Prowagen:
The do look a cool tire, but not sure that you will look so cool in a ditch upside down with your car trashed.
People overlook tires too often, they are probably the single most important device on your car, don't sacrafice your life for looks! If you have a HiPo strret car you need to invest in some good rubber and leave these tires in the 50s!

Sorry to bring this post back from the dead!!
I am looking at the wide ovals for my 356 rims, after reading this I might have to reconsider!
Are there any period looking tyres that are actually good,i.e are useable in the wet or above 60mph
Thanks

A couple of years ago I swapped the MTīs mentioned above for some 185-15 Vredestein Sprint Classics. It was like buying a new car!

I can only speak for the M/T Indy Profile F70-15 wich is also a classic musclecar tire.
Looks awesome IMO, but may very well be the worst tire I have ever driven in wet conditions. Absolutely lethal!
Sounds perfect to me ;) FUN! ;D

it is fun sometimes but others is terrifying...
My worst experience was on the motorway with heavy traffic...
I was doing ~100 Km/h in the low speed lane, and as soon as I encountered some lorries groove,
the car started moving along side towards the next lane,
it seemed possessed and was really difficult to keep it straight... not nice!
