Running with F/stones from the late 80's, no dry rot, damage, or other problems. Some checking. Whitewalls are still white. Run highway speeds.

Thanks everyone for the replies. Yes I was thinking $150 for the set of 5. They have been stored indoors and were mounted on tires but not on a chassis. I myself would not drive on them other than a car I just putted around town in, but would be great for a museum car. I just wondered if they were worth anything more because of them being old mold Firestones (for originality purposes).

It's easy to ship A tires. Tape 2 together, slap a label on them and send them off. I bought some a few years ago. Cost 10 bucks for 2, that was a few years ago, sure it would be somewhat more now.

The tires you have, while an older Firestone tread/sidewall pattern from the 1960's, are nothing like the original tires of the 1928-1931 period - in fact, they are significantly different than the original tires found on cars of the 1928- 1931 years. Hence, their value as a "museum / originality" is non-existent.
