Vette(s): 1973 Orange Metallic Coupe (orig owner), L82, 4 spd (WR), PS, (A/C & PW (I installed from wrecked 73)), leather, AM/FM Stereo, ran with '65 FI unit earlier & will again some day. 2023 Accelerate Yellow HTC Stingray

I ordered mine with Firestone 500* white line tires. Sold those to a friend and put on BF Goodrich T/As 255/60-15s.  It was about that time that I sold the original Rally wheels, caps, and trim rings and replaced them with American Racing Vector 8 1/2" X 15" wheels. I originally saw those wheels on one of the Chevrolet Corvette CERV prototypes.

Wore those out and put on Bridgestone 255/60-15s.   Wore those down to about 50% tread and put them on some old Rally wheels and used them for my autocross tires. Then I used Goodyear Eagle GTs 255/60-15s for daily driving.

* The friend got free replacement Firestone tires because of the Firestone 500 recall.
