Re: 69 Chevrolet Goodyear Tires
 

I've also never seen a 69 with a Polyglas tire but as this car was built in August of 69, I was hoping to have somebody with a similar build date that might have an original spare as reference. I know it's a shot in the dark, but I was hopeful. Thanks to all who have responded.

My 08A of 69 Z/28 had a Goodyear Wide Tread GT for the spare. E 70 15. I believe it to be the original spare, but only know the history of the car back to 74.

Re: 69 Chevrolet Goodyear Tires
 

The Z/28 only had the E70-15 Wide Tread GT and the Firestone Sportscar

I believe that we have discussed this on a separate topics.

The F70-14 Polyglas in RWL was being produced in 68 and was first introduced on the 68 1/2 Cobra Jet Mustang.
We know that the '69 Chevelle wore Wide Treads.
There were no memos showing a cutoff date when the widetreads were not being used and when the Polyglas were being shipped to production lines.
No Widetreads were used in 1970.
Production lines go through model changeover typically the 2-4th week of August.

We only know what we know......

So it is original?

Jay,
Your spare is a 69 style Firestone that is not reproduced. It looks correct right down to the valve stem and cap! The best looking Firestone white letter tire ever in my opinion.
