I ordered a set of wheels from Paradise Wheels and they came in yesterday and are excellent.  It took a bit of time to get them because of supply chain difficulties.  My original set has the Goodyears and this driver set has Firestone radials.  It was a nice Christmas present.

They look great, love the "vintage look" Firestone radials, may have to get a set for 2642.

Instead of being part of the problem, be part of a successful solution.

To me the only problem is if you want to go vintage why go with a tire never offered on a 69 Shelby? Is it for the radial advantage? I wish they would make the Goodyear in a radial.

I don't think so but better to confirm with dedicated Boss authority like Special Ed and BP.

That is the problem, they dont make Goodyears in radials, I had a set of those Firestones on my 67 GT Kcode and WOW they got nice no great comments where ever I drove it.....If you can put BF Goods on a Shelby then you certainly can put a period correct tire on a car....They do not make em. As we say in New Youuuurk, FORGETABOUTIT!
