Default Which Tires for my car

Ok I have been pondering which tires would be most correct for my 69.
The car was built 2nd week of July 1969 Baltimore plant.
Dusk Blue 396- 350HP Parchment bucket seats no console 4 speed.
I have the kelsey tires in mind for my car.
The tire I was thinking of was the F70/14 Speedway Wide Tread RWL F70/14 Speedway Wide Tread RWL
So what do you guys think? Good choice or not?

I think for 69 to early 70 cars . They had the raised white letter only on the Good Year on the tire and did not get the Raised white letter in the F70-14 tire size.

My '69 was built the 5th week of July '69 (07E)at Kansas City. I was told the Goodyear Polyglas no size was correct for my car.

Either one of these Goodyear tires are good for this SS396 Chevelle. It's called the "no size" tire on the Polyglas. They also used F70 X 14" Uniroyal and Firestone but no correct reproductions are available in these tires. I have a photo of the original Firestone and Uniroyals in my 1969 Camaro fact book.

I have never seen a documented 69 with a Polyglas tire.

I agree. No Polyglas 'til the '70 model. I'd go with the tire pictured above for a '69.
