thanks for the information. I looked at the 5 tires that are currently on the jeep.
1 - BF Goodrich silvertown dated 1952
3 - goodyears dating in the 50, 60"s
1 - firestone from the 60's
does anyone make a goodyear? Most repro's seem to be firestone.

Looks like they are made in USA. That is a good thing.
Thanks.. |

Does anyone know where the best place is to buy the firestone tire? coker is asking $154 per tire. Maybe a firestone store?

Hmmmm. I thought I'd paid over the odds for Firestone NDCC's, but they equate to $244 each (that includes the 20% tax), which is comparable to the prices quoted above. I could have got some "made in India" NDT's for $195 each, but decided USA quality was more appealing. 
P.S. If folks in the UK are looking for Firestone NDCC's, try these:

Fast service, and there was no delivery charge when I bought mine.......

OK - I am a little confused. I ordered the NDCC Coker Firestone tires and they arrived today. The treads are rounded or "U" shape on the coker Firestone tires. My originals are also marked NDCC and the treads are more of a "V" shape?
What am i missing..? Did I order incorrect tires? |

I guess it would be the recess. New ones are U shaped and old ones a V shaped.
Old tires are :
1 - BF Goodrich silvertown dated 1952
3 - goodyears dating in the 50, 60"s
1 - firestone from the 60's
New Coker Firestone NDCC. I will take a picture, but may need help adding it to site. still have not mastered loading a photo.
