  I have a pair of 8.00 X 15 Blue Streaks with the 1 1/16" wide WSW's. Is 
  this the standard tire size for H & J's? What about K's, L's and later 
  cars? How long were BlueStreaks offered for passenger cars? Was there ever 
  a nominal speed rating for these tires? Must have been near 150 MPH. 
  Weren't the hot H's & J's good for 145 MPH? The tires are marked 6-ply 
  Nylon. 

  The width is not correct for our '55 C-300 (3"), but I find the tires 
  fascinating. The blue dot that turns into a blue streak at 130 MPH is 
  actually a basketball-type valve used to inflate the space outside an 
  airtight inner liner by using an inflating "needle". The liner was supposed 
  to provide run flat capability in case of blowout. Very handy north of 120 
  MPH. I remember working on similar tires in the '50's with a manual Iron 
  Tireman. Lottsa work to break, repair a puncture and remount. Labor was 
  $1/hr and Phillips 66 regular was $0.309/G. Boss got $1.50 for a tire 
  repair--car, truck or bicycle. Rock and roll was just getting started.

  The 300H and J Bluestreaks have a 1 1/16 inch wide whitewall, for what that 

  may or may not be worth. I agree the 1964 would have NOT have been wider.

  I would hazard a guess it was more like 7/8 inch to maybe 1 inch - not 
  more. The 62 models introduced the narrow "beauty-line" whitewalls - 
  could have been a bit narrower but not wider. Size designations changed 
  in 63 in case that matters.
