7.00x16 "pointy" NDCC's...

Post by Dokimos » Thu Apr 07, 2016 10:34 am

Hi there!

I am looking to get 7 new NDCC's for my M38A1 and M100 to replace my worn Goodyears.

I have seen a few options out there but none of them have the pointy thread like the GY have and I really like that feature.

STA and Firestone have the rounded thread, does any one of you guys have any idea if I can find NDCC's with the correct thread?

thanks!

The Goodyear 7.00 X 16 NDCC went out with the M-151's, NOS has been scarce since the early 90's.

They appear to be STA 7.00 X 16 NDCC, which are very similar to the Cooper 7.00 X 16 NDCC. The manufacturer's name appears obliterated.

They are not STA because STA has the rounded edge thread...

The above tire treads appear identical to Cooper 7.00 X 16 NDCC and STA 7.00 X 16 NDCC. I have a NOS Set of GI Issue Good Year 7.00 X 16 NDCC tires in my M-38A1 spares the above set of tires is not Good Year.

What is a good price for STA NDCC 7.00 16 tires these days? Anyone bought a set lately? I need to start shopping for new tires this summer.
Thanks!

Those Speedways are NDT, and not the NDCC pattern tread.

Only two manufacturers in the USA supplied those nice original "Pointy NDCC'S we dream about. Goodyear and Kelly Springfield. We are over 30 years too late as they went out with the M-151 and M-416.
