We are lifelong NASCAR fans, and when this tire became available through a trusted antique dealer friend, we knew it was something special. It has been proudly displayed and cherished in our home for years, envisioned as the centerpiece of a glass-top table for a game room or man cave, before ultimately becoming a treasured shelf display. As we prepare to move into the next chapter of our lives, we are offering this incredible racing artifact to a new steward.
🏎️ Provenance & Research (Full Transparency)
Authenticating race-used NASCAR tires can be challenging, as official documentation is rarely issued. That said, extensive independent research strongly suggests this tire was produced and used during the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Chase for the Championship.
The D4412 compound code aligns with Goodyear’s practice of assigning specific compounds to individual tracks and race events.
Based on NASCAR scheduling and compound usage, this tire was likely produced for late October to early November 2012.
Our research points to the AAA Texas 500 at Texas Motor Speedway on November 4, 2012, a pivotal race in which Jimmie Johnson claimed a hard-fought victory over Brad Keselowski, taking the points lead with only three races remaining—an essential step toward another championship season.
While absolute confirmation is not possible, our best and most educated conclusion is that this tire was a front-right race tire used during that Texas Motor Speedway event, contributing to one of Johnson’s most important wins of the 2012 season.
A rare and conversation-starting collectible for serious NASCAR and Jimmie Johnson fans.
This tire represents not just rubber, but speed, strategy, pressure, and championship history - a tangible reminder of one of NASCAR’s greatest drivers at a defining moment in his career.
