Does anyone know of a place to find inexpensive vintage tires?
I am looking for Goodyear F70-15. They came on my 70.

Coker is the company that makes all types of vuntage tires. It's the company others buy from and then sell to you. The price is not "cheap",but then what tires are these days?

I tried Coker. They don't make Goodyear tires.

wouldn't the original tires have been Firestone Wide Ovals? Also, why vintage tires? I had them on my T-bird, they handle terribly. Stick with modern radials.

They came with either Firestone or Goodyear. I have a Goodyear spare, so I am think that is what it had on. I want the tires mostly for show. I know they handle bad.
