Linc, very observant, yes, they were L50-15 Concorde Tires.

From here on in, everybody please keep in mind that I owned this car from
age, 19 to 23, and was, to put it politely, "uneducated", in so many things
that I know now.

I was living in Port Moody, B.C. That is a community at the east end of
the main inlet that is the Port of Vancouver, B.C.

I was living in, "the house", on the main drag of Port Moody,
with a bunch of other people who also had nice cars.

Just down St. John's St, the main drag, was, "Talisman Tire".
He told me that the Concorde Tires had just been winners at
the Winter Nationals, or top Superstock, or something like that.

With the stock F60-15 tires on the Boss, I was experiencing some
severe wheel slip from time to time, so, Talisman Tire had some
10 inch wide, plain steel wheels made up, and the Concorde L-50 15
tires made it onto the back of the Boss 429.

As I was experiencing some undesired chaffing of the tires on the upper
inside of the wheel wells, I later installed longer shackles on the back
of the leaf springs. That decreased the chaffing of the tires quite a bit.
Also changed the weight distribution forward a bit.

On launch that was a plus for sure.

Those tires hooked up like crazy compared to the stock tires. At least on
the street they did. I know how slippery the drag strip is, but I never tried
them there. On the street they were great.

Because I had those L50-15's on the back, when I sold the Boss, I still had
the original Boss 429 Magnum 500 wheels in my possession. They now
reside on the back of my 69 Cobra, complete with Mustang Horse center caps.

I'm still being pushed around by Boss 429 wheels.

That will do for today.

More to come.
