The L60's are coming---- The L60's are coming!!!!!

[SmallHurst]

As I have been trying to do with some regularity, I am again giving a status update of the L60-15 Polyglas progress.

So far, the tire has made it through 2 rounds of engineering runs. The font is adjusted, the tires are torn down, etc. All of the things that done to insure that the tires are going to be the quality that deserves the Goodyear brand. John Kelsey reported to me that they have not had any suprises thus far. The plant is going into shutdown next week for a one week maintenance downtime. John said that barring any suprises, he expects to see these tires on his dock sometime in the later part of August.

These are the first non-OEM size tire that Kelsey has had reproduced and I have to say that a lot of the input from you guys pushed the tire over the edge and into production!!!!

So that you can get your measuring sticks out in the garage and see if these meats can fit, I was given the old sizing (what is the saying, whatever is old will be new again?).

On a 7" rim, the L60-15's have:
10.40" section width
27.97" outside diameter
9.40" tread width

For each 1/2" increase/decrease in rim width, section width increases/decreases .2".

And as always, if you are looking at reproduction Goodyears, contact me and I will get you a killer quote!!!
