(2) VINTAGE ORIGINAL FIRESTONE "GROOVED REAR R154" RACING TIRES (WHEELS NOT INCLUDED)!

AN ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS MATCHING PAIR OF THE FAMOUS ORIGINAL FIRESTONE "DOUBLE-DIAMOND" RACING TIRES...FOR YOUR AUTHENTIC TRADITIONAL HOT-ROD...TOP-FLITE "CHAMP" CAR...OR CLASSY VINTAGE SPRINT-CAR!

QUANTITY: (2)

WHAT I AM SELLING HERE IS AN ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS MATCHING PAIR OF VINTAGE ORIGINAL FIRESTONE "GROOVED REAR R154...DOUBLE-DIAMOND" RACING TIRES, THAT I JUST OBTAINED FROM THE ESTATE OF A FAMOUS OLD INDY-CAR AND SPRINT-CAR RACER! 

IF YOU KNOW WHAT THE FIRESTONE "DOUBLE-DIAMOND" RACING TIRES ARE, THEN I DON'T NEED TO TELL YOU HOW RARE IT IS TO FIND A VINTAGE ORIGINAL PAIR OF THEM IN 16" DIAMETER, IN GOOD CONDITION!

FROM THE 1950's, ALL THE WAY UP UNTIL THE 1970's, THESE WERE THE PREMIER DIRT-TRACK RACING TIRES...AND THE TIRE OF CHOICE FOR THE HOT-RODDERS THAT WANTED A COMPETITION OFF-ROAD RACING TIRE THAT THEY COULD SNEAK ONTO THE STREET!  WITH THEIR SOFT RACING COMPOUND, AGRESSIVE TREAD PATTERN, AND WIDE WIDTHS...YOU COULD GET GREAT TRACTION ON THE ASPHALT!  BUT UNLIKE RACING SLICKS, YOU COULD GET AWAY WITH RUNNING THESE ON-ROAD BECAUSE THEY WERE GROOVED (EVEN THOUGH THEY TECHNICALLY WEREN'T "STREET-LEGAL")!

THE TERM "DOUBLE DIAMOND" COMES FROM THE TREAD PATTERN ON THE OUTER BAND OF THE TIRES WHERE ONE DIAMOND IS ACTUALLY MOLDED ONTO THE TOP OF ANOTHER!  IT ACTS AS A WEAR INDICATOR, AS WELL AS GIVING ANOTHER LAYER OF TRACTION WHEN THE FIRST DIAMOND WORE DOWN!

FROM LOOKING AT THESE PARTICULAR TIRES, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THEY WERE EVER USED FOR COMPETITION, AS THEY DON'T SEEM TO SHOW ANY SIGNS OF EXCESSIVE DAMAGE OR WEAR!  IN FACT, I BELIEVE THAT THESE TIRES WERE PROBABLY ONLY USED FOR MOCK-UP PURPOSES...AS THEY APPEAR TO STILL RETAIN THE MAJORITY OF THEIR ORIGINAL TREAD MARKINGS, AND THEIR FACTORY "DOUBLE-DIAMOND" PATTERNS ARE STILL CLEARLY VISIBLE AND CRISP!

AND THE OVERALL CONDITION OF THE RUBBER IS VERY NICE, ALTHOUGH THERE IS SOME LIGHT CHECKING ON THE SIDEWALLS OF EACH TIRE (SEE PHOTOS)!

I AM SELLING THESE TIRES FOR "DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY"...BUT YOU CAN USE THEM AS YOU SEE FIT!

PLEASE LOOK THE PHOTOS OVER, AND THEN CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS...OR NEED TO SEE MORE PIX!

PS:  THE WHEELS DO NOT GO WITH THE TIRES!  THE TIRES WILL BE DISMOUNTED PRIOR TO SHIPPING!
