I think any tire vendor that tells a buyer this is the correct tire for their 69 Chevy is doing their customer a dis-service because it is most likely not the tire used on their car. Just sell them the tire that was on 99.999999999999% of the cars.

Agreed.

Reading this thread leaves me a bit confused -- seems there are indications those tires in the photo couldn't have been original to my 442. I've slept some since the mag wheel installation but I have to ask -- why would I buy "new" Goodyear tires when they are less than year old. I still think those were the original tires. Am I off base with that assumption? Craig :dunno:

earntaz... The Polyglas debate is about Chevrolet not using them.

Copy that -- wow ... now I can sleep better ... LoL :beers:

You have a 1969 right?

Is it a W30?

Lee -- yes ... it is a 69' W-30 ... pictures of it at the beginning of this thread ... Thanks ... Craig

I believe that the question was asked if the Polyglas was available, and with information given, it shows that it was. I represent all of Kelsey's line of Goodyears and all of Coker's line. In this industry, I have learned to never say never. I try to give solid information based in fact. In the end, it is the customer's car and the choice is up to them.

If a person has a build sheet stating they had PL4 option code, this was a fiberglas belted tire with raised white letters. This could either be Firestone Wide Ovals or the Goodyear Polyglas. The Goodyear Speedway Wide Treads are not fiberglas belted tires.

As anyone who has dealt with me knows, I am all about service and integrity. I usually go overboard on giving information of value to the customer so they can make an educated choice.

I would like to thank Jerry MacNeish for the document and the photograph of the tire posted earlier.

Craig,

You are good with those tires.

Rusty

Thanks for clearing that up Rusty. Sure wish I had held on to that one. I have been told it is still in someones back yard in Clovis, NM ... some of my kin are still on the look out for it. Craig :biggthumpup:
