Default Correct white walls

What would be the correct white wall tire for a 69 ss chevelle? Do they make a correct repro? Most cars today have goodyears but in the old pics I notice whitewall tires. Thanks, Dustin.

A Goodyear or Firestone F70-14,RPO PW7 or even a Belted PY4.
I wouldn't call it a white wall.Cadillacs & Buicks had white walls.
It's really a thin white stripe,highlighting the inner edge.

I agree with white stripe and not white wall. I think they look great. Does anyone make a correct repro? Dustin.

Yes, Kelsey has the white stripe Polyglas. Yes, I can get them. Contact me if you are interested. Ellis, Ks... birthplace of Walter P. Chrysler!
