Default Re: Real Deal 1969 L89 Camaro

There were several optional 14&quot; F70 x 14 tires: white wall, red line, raised white letter. Firestone, Goodyear and Uniroyal all supplied tires to Norwood &amp; Van Nuys. As of April 2, 1969 PL4 F70 x 14 RWL FG belted tires became available to order; the Goodyear Polyglas <span style="font-weight: bold">may</span> have been one of the brands used. The only documented PL4 car is a COPO with a Firestone spare. Several survivor cars exist with a Polyglas spare in the proper time frame but no supporting paperwork. In fact one of them has factory docs that does NOT list PL4. Very common for dealers to swap out tires in those days.

There was no 15&quot; tire option. Those were built with either Firestone Sport Car 200 or Goodyear Wide Tread GT, E70 x 15.
