I will say, the car handled fantastic.
I will say that I just drive my cars for pleasure, I did track/autocross back in my younger days, not anymore. I just like to get out and go for a drive. The firestones were some of the most satisfying driving tires I ever had. I do not expect an old car to drive like a new Shelby.

It sounds like you are answering your own question and have found the tire that works for you? Great. Problem solved.

Firestones are engineered differently then the original Goodyears. Two different tires completely.

Not really, Firestones did not come on a 67 Shelby.

Neither did BFG's.

It seems to me that you are asking for something that doesn't exist then?

Yes I am, Goodyears

On one hand, the firestones are cool, but never cam on the car....
On the other hand neither did the BFG's
The BFG's are a deal
The repro Firestones are not, and do not have ER/70-15
So I would have to get a size that would possibly be way off.

I will be calling Kelsey tire soon as they asked me to call them, maybe they will make a good size, if they do, then I am sure many SAAC peeps will jump on it!
