If you are putting Polyglas on a 69 Z you are using the wrong tire. you would need the Goodyear Wide Tread GT...not Polyglas.

The spare tire for this 68 z/28 is an E70-15 custom wide tread white stripe. It also says polyglas. The letters are outlines only. Has a code of TS01161. Could this be a replacement possibly manufactured in 1971? I've owned this car since 1976, but I'm the ninth owner. Thanks, Joe

The only OE tire known at this time for a '68 Z/28 is the Goodyear E70 x 15 WTGT. Your spare is not original.

Charlie,

I would make sure that he got the right tire!!! The tires that are produced in that size are the Speedway Wide Tread GT for the '68-'69 Z, and the Speeedway 350 in two variations depending on which Shelby you have!!!
