Which Kit did these tires come from?

[TarheelRick]

While digging through my stash of tires I came across this set of drag slicks.  Not a very good picture, but the best my old Samsung phone could come up with. Anyway, one side says, "Goodyear Blue Streak" the other side says, "Firestone Drag 500".  I know they were from some 60's kit but have no idea which one.  Anybody remember these?

Jo Han AMX super stock plus others

They are definitely Jo-Han.  If they are one-piece, they are "early" production but not the earliest (earliest were Goodyear on both sides).  The one-piece version would have come in the Sox & Martin '71 Barracuda, Don Nicholson Maverick, and Eddie Schartman Comet Pro Stock kits.  The 1:1 Firestone Drag 500 slicks and front tires first appeared in 1970.

I never had very many Jo-Han kits in the 60's.  Only two I can remember are the '64 Dodge SS car of Hodges Dodges which had a beautiful set of Cheater slicks (still have them) and the '65 Plymouth Fury II (III) with Sox & Martin decals.

These are one-piece slicks, hollow inside.  Still a mystery where I got them.

Could you post some pics of the tread on those cheater slicks? Would really like to see so I could make some for future street rods. Thanks.

Don't know if they still are, but MCW was casting them along with the fronts
