    Firestone 500 steel belted radials with broken steel belts

    I have 3 of them if they are inflated there is a bulge in the tread, Is there any historical value in them or should i junk them

    Ralph, I have 5 with broken belts from my '77 I took delivery in Nov '76. They have multiple breaks and steel belts protruding so I doubt of any value but I am too sentimental
    to discard. Still have the recalled horn button.

      They should be junked as they could never be installed on a car as they will blow.

        Offer them to NCM. Might make an interesting display. Big story at the time.
