AMT Firestone 'Double Pinstripe' Tires

[Joe Lange]

Greetings All,

For all those who enjoy building mid-60's American automobiles, and who are familiar with the double pinstripe tires that some new cars came with.  Round2Models, reproduced AMT's Tire Pack that has 2 sets of these tires.  One set is a regular tread design and the other is a 'Street' type drag slick.  

While this may not be news to you, (they have been out for a while), I just received word from them that this particular Tire Pack has been discontinued.   So........If you were thinking about getting a pack of them, you better get them now!  I just ordered 3 packs from 'Model Roundup'.  Really good folks to deal with.  Don't know how many they have left.

I also have a set. Hope that a Double Red set appears one day.

I'm starting a Jo-Hann 1966 AMC Marlin that I think they will look really good on.

Did any tire manufacturer make a double red pinstripe tire in the 60s?

Thanks for the heads-up. I never knew this set existed, actually. I dig those skinny cheaters, so I ordered up a set.

I have used a red Sharpie before to make red walls out of white walls

I think Firestone did for the '65-'66 Ford Mustang GT....
