The vintage Can Am guys still run Bluestreaks.
Actually what most people arent aware of is Bluestreaks are Racing Eagles. Goodyear just changed the name of its official racing tire in 1980. Prior to the Gatorback if you look at the tread design of a Bluestreak its the same as the square blocked tread of the racing Eagle. This was the result of the tire war between Goodyear and Michelin in Formula One.
Chris's tires look like the G7-Cobra tread which was very popular back in the when. Even the vintage rubber available today mostly uses the latest in rubber technology. Same look just new ingredients made on old molds. Even the G19 slick is still used in competition today.
Biggest issue is going to be able to fit the 15 inch wheels. Knowing Chris he will come up with something interesting.
