maybe a way of having the top part of the sidewall flex and bite while the lower part is stiffer and maintains its shape

I could be wrong, but i always thought that the "ridges" were a part of the cap, I believe that these tires back then were re-treads. They took old tires, and put new caps on them to make race specific tires. I'm sure John could explain better, and I might be miles off base with my explanation.

That sticker is the type you put in water, and I still have them but for $ 2,500 you can have one LOL.

But for you Ron, If I can take a ride in your race car that will payment in full.

You should have some of the old ads reprinted, and sell them. I'd hang them in my garage!!

Hi Jokerluv; I got the low down on the poster it was one of the first made in the mid 50's early 60's and this was not a recap. It was the first drag slick and the small dimples up by the contact patch were to make the slick stiffer, and when that did not work they changed the look and that is what you see today on the M&H slicks.
