I'm stripping my rolling chassis for clean up and took out my spare tire.
It is the original Firestone tire!
Of the original Firestones that came with the car:
-2 tires had split the sidewall on the inside just sitting parked in the first year('74).
-1 tire the steel belt strands started to peel through the rubber on the tread
-1 tire I hit a small chunk of ice on the hwy. A big bulge formed on the tire bottom.
These tires were forceably recalled at some time around '74 '75.
Anyway.....I was surprised that I still had the original.
