I don't know if this is the right forum but here goes. Does anyone have knowledge of where I can get a pair of Firestone 700-15? I have tried allover. I ordered a pair from Croker in Sept and was just informed it will be at least August until I might get them. they are for the front on a 3/4 41 gmc and need to be blackwall. Thanks

You can buy 700x15 Military tread that are firestones. Cocker and Universal did sell them. Hope this helps. Try calling a real Firestone dealer, they do have access to classic tires. Also a place in Nebraska but I don't remember the name.

How are those tires working out for you? I'm curious as to what they look like on your truck. Send me a message with a pic if possible.

If you are buying tires from coker try getting them from Jegs. Just go to the Jegs web page and search for the part number from coker. Thats what I did and they were almost $40 less per tire, then I found out they are drop shipped right from coker anyway. I bought 6 firestone truck tires from them so the savings was great! Try calling coker first though the tires I wanted were backordered too, but they have other firestone truck tires that I didn't see on their website, then I got them through Jegs.

I use the 16" version of those Yokohama tires and I am very satisfied with them. Mine are tubless radials with a fairly narrow tread.

I am waiting for the rims to be painted befire mountinf them. They looked super small so I did mount one on an old rim and I think they will work out very well, They han to "air blast " it to get it on the rim. Only real negative is the word military that is on them. I just couldn't put japanese yokohama's on a 41 truck. Just not right I'll send you a shot when they are on.

I finally got those tires mounted. If you send me an e-mail address I will try to send you some shots. My address is douglasgd@douglasfast.net . I will have to get my neighbor to show me how since I never sent photos before. They look much better on the wheels then off. Doug
