Title: Goodyear Blue Streaks
Post by: Steve McDonald Formally known as Mcdonas on May 14, 2018, 05:53:52 PM
Okay, I've got my 5 original magnums redone ( thanks to Jim Cowles  :) ) and am saving up for a set of the Goodyear Blue Streaks from Universal Tires in Hershey Pa.
Has anyone every used them? Any insight would be helpful as they are a little pricey, but I will now have the 5 original wheels and a set of OEM Center Caps, a set of the Red Hertz Decals and the original 20 lug nuts. I will use these only for certain shows as I hear the wear on these tires leaves something to be desired ( I hear 5,000-7,000 and they are gone)
Has anyone used these tires? Any tips on storing them? Any tips on Installing them as they go on from the back side if I remember correctly (14" safety rim) . Should I search for a set of clip-on Goodyear type wheels weights or leave the weight off, or "hid" some stick on weights inside the riim.
By the way, the rims look great.
