My Tiretreds glue on whitewall install

[AR67GTX]

I have the blue line kit already but not handy to me at the moment. The site you referenced doesn’t look like it so it probably is from another source.

I went with a slightly smaller 205/75-15 Vercelli tire because my GTX has a 489 rear under it that is slightly wider and with 7” wheels the 215/75s were a tight squeeze to get on and off at the rear. I mention this only because with the slightly shorter sidewall, that it might look better if I moved the stripe location in towards the center a bit, along a thin molding line circling the sidewall. I’ve got one tire done and like the results so far. I need to clean up the sidewall but decided to let it cure overnight first. I ended up using an X-acto kinfe on radial ribs but finished up with a fine wire disc on a dremel tool.

I’m pleased enough with this so far so I will get a set of 14” tires and apply a blue stripe kit for the steel wheels and hubcap set I have for my 66 Satellite Hemi. From what I can find these Italian made Vercelli tires are rated pretty well in what I could find on line about them. I have $78 each for tires, $30 each for stripes and mount/balance in them. Heck of a lot better than the pricing for Coker’s, etc.

Looks good Dan. Installing the stripes can be a little tedious / time consuming.

But I have to admit. Mine ride nice and look great. And So far so good . Ive put well over 500-600 miles on mine with no issues whatsoever

My former father-in-law told me when they were kids and saw a car with portawalls parked real close to a curb, they would flip the portawall up on the curb and it made the tire look flat. Then they would hide around the corner and wait for the owners reaction.

Mounted and out for a test drive. They look good and ride better.

Beautiful, clean look look!

The car has been out of the garage exactly once since about 1996 and that was in 2006, the last time it was driven. I had to move it from one garage to another, about 300 ft. None of my present neighbors have ever seen it,

That is wild! I’m always blown away by a story like this. I’m just not disciplined enough.
