reproduction Uniroyal Tiger Paws
 

If they would reproduce the F70 Uniroyal Tiger Paws would you buy them? What other sizes would you want? Dustin

if they were the same price as the Firestone or Goodyear repro's,you bet i would buy them but i doubt a tire company will reproduce them.
i once owned a 1970 Chevelle SS 396 350 H/P car that had the original mint Uniroyal tire on the spare,it had white letters with F-70-14 on the tire. An owner of a Canadian COPO 69 Camaro out of hamilton traded me 5 good used Goodyear white lettered F70-14 tires for the one Uniroyal tire.

I was also lucky enough to buy a Uniroyal tire at a swap meet for $20 a few years back,i ended up selling that tire on ebay for $560 !!

When I bought our Chevelle new, it had the F70-14 white lettered Uniroyals. I'd be in for a set. I still have the original spare and picked up three more a few years ago but would be afraid to drive on them. Funny thing is, I had changed out the rears for bigger stuff within a month or so of buying the car. The original tires didn't really mean anything back then and were totally inadequate for a 427.

I think they would be a big hit. I unfortunately wouldn't be on the potential buyer's list as I got the Wide Treads several years ago and only have a few hundred miles on them.

In my opinion they were the coolest tire of that era. The White lettered Tiger Paws were on my 69 RS/SS Camaro when I bought it new and when I ordered my 70 Chevelle SS I specifically requested on the sales order that the car come with the Tiger Paws. Back then GM was all about keeping customers happy and my Chevelle was built with the Tiger Paws [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Count me in for a set.

Re: reproduction Uniroyal Tiger Paws
 

GM seemed to provide a lot of Uniroyal tires on the muscle cars.
A large % of the muscle Olds came with Uniroyal. I have 9 of the G70-14 most are NOS. I paid anywhere from $20 Ea to $350.00. They look great but I agree I would not travel anywhere on them.
