I think I know the answer to this.  Are they the Indy 500 - Firehawks and are their more than one Firestone tire, that a dealer could recommend?
 
I got lucky.  I went to a Large St. Jude Car Show, had to leave early to attend my pastor's daughter's wedding this past Saturday.
 
The Corvette guys putting on the show caught me right before I left, I bought the tickets for $5, knowing I would not win, as I never win raffle events.  I gave the tickets to my buddies I was with and sho enuf, I won the tires. 
 
My buddies said they mentioned truck tires or passenger car tires when they presented my ticket, but I want to walk in there knowledgeable to swap for the right set for my Lil T.
 
Thanks for any advice!Wink
