Default New Goodyear Wide Treads

Just installed a set of F70-14 Wide Treads on the old L78. They really add the finishing touch to the car.

You got it Paul. Nothing better than a 69 Chevy in Lemans Blue with the Wide Treads

Looks awesome! How many tires did you have to buy to get 4 with the correct looking lettering? I had to buy 7 and return 3 before I had a set that didnt have the letters either shaved too close to the blackwall (looked like balloon font) or cut too far out (looked like penciled letters)

Believe it or not, just one set of four and all were OK. I did ask them to inspect the lettering before they shipped after reading some of the previous threads about repo tires from Kelsey. They actually ride quite nice but handling is not up to par with the previous radials. They look so much better though. Thanks for the compliments!
