    Maybe the gentlemen that has the original car that the movie was patterned after knows. Since I think he races the car he probably knows what works best.

    Nuttin' on a google search for Glidewell tires.



    But, then I'd never heard of Yokohama until a set showed up on a car I bought recently.

    Glidewell? I'd imagine that would be a good description of the Hudson's ride! I seriously doubt its a real tire mfg.



    I've tried to get the Wasp to smile like that, the end result was I smiled bigger!



    Oh, have your kids/grandkids start eating Fruit Loops - my daughter came to me last night with a toy "Sallie" the porsche! Sure enough, I looked on the back of the box and there are some Doc Hudson's out there somewhere!

    We are getting help thats why we are here. This is the Hudson support group.. LOL

    I phoned Pixar and asked them do they know of any tire shops stocking the Glidewell my 51 Hornet needs a set....no response.

    Lets get together as a group and manufacture them ourselves....yippeee....who's with me we also need a vulcanologist so if we have one in the house please step forward...

    I contacted the vulcanologist, he gave me a funny hand gesture and replied,

    "be well, and prosper"



    I took it as a good sign.

    On one of the video promos for the movie, the tire name on the main character was LIGHTYEAR, I think. Those Pixar guys seem to be good at getting close enough to make you think of the real brand, but not enough to pay for it.

    I know Lightyear tires. A guy named Buzz started the company.

    THAT'S IT!!!! I'M NOT READING THIS THREAD ANYMORE. WHERE IS A MONITOR WHEN YOU NEED ONE?!? I SURE HOPE THE MOVIE LIVES UP TO ITS BILLING, OTHERWISE THERE ARE GOING TO BE A LOT OF INVOLUNTARY COMMITMENTS.....
