I like old rubbers, even if they are a little dry rotted and just for display :D I know they don't perform the best.......but nothing compliments a ride more than vintage cool rubber, especially a restored Mopar with Polyglass tires! I picked up some fatties a few weeks back, finally found a pair that match with plenty of tread. I also have around 15 nice used or NOS Polyglass Good Year rubbers, one pair is a G-60 15 :glasses7: I also ran vintage 5.60-15 Dunlop tires on my front runner Torq Thrust mags, they were originals from the late 1950's :glasses7:

Love those Wide Tracks.. It was hard to miss those when they were mounted! I love the look of the Polyglass too. Although, just the look :)

G60-15, wow just to cool, I remember asking for H tires for my truck way back in the day... H was a tall tire if I remember right:happy1:
I have the factory snow/mud spare that came with Victoria.
I need to shine it up and hang it on the wall, I carry a new spar everywhere.
Very Cool Kieth :glasses7:
 
Hey Keith, I have a few you can have. I'll look in the dresser drawers...don't say the old man never gave you nothing!

New rubbers are always good until you get a hole in them.
 
I very much like the look of the old rubber and vintage rims.
I seriously think they suck total balls compared to the performance of modern rubber and modern rims.
But they cool, that's for sure!
:)
 
I like rubbers so much I used to work at a rubber dealer, I have gotten several cool rubber signs over the years :glasses7:
 
Still got the N50 X 15 Kelly super chargers I pulled off my dart they have around 70% tread left and I bought them new around 1984.

Replaced them with a pair of M/T tires when they ran off some N50 X 15's around 4 years ago.

Man what a difference in traction the newer tires have
