I always loved this chase scene. It was insane! And on bias ply tires!

The Chase

[/ QUOTE ]
The cars were equipped with Radial tires for the chase scene,or I should say the cars in the chase scene used radial tires. I have studied this scene 100 times and have noticed the subtle differences in the cars. Near as I can tell both Mustangs had the same tires, early articles state the cars were equipped with Firestone Sports Car Radials. The Charger in Early scenes had Goodyear Custom power Cushion Bias Ply tires with the three ring white walls. These can be seen where the Charger pulls up a few blocks behind the phone booth and again where they are stalking Mcqueen after the car wash. When the Charger bolts up the hill it is clearly on different tires. The car Life artucle states "the Charger tires were trimmed down to handicap it,as it would run circles around the Mustang". There are a few differences between the two Chargers that evidence there were two cars. The Mustangs are well documented as there being two cars.
