Repro Goodyear Tires

[169indy]

I think I have been influenced by the pictures of the PACE CARS with the WT-GT's
Ref; Life Mag insert, Hugger pace car post card, Various 8 x 10 track car photos', Motor Trend Aug 1969 page 33 'Keeping the pace' ...Finally, pre-burnished brake pads are used with the four-wheel caliper discs (RPO-JL-8) from the Z28, which also supplied the 15 x 7 inch ralley wheels with F-70 x 15 Firestone Super Sport 200s or Goodyear Wide Tread GT's.
The key must be that the Track cars got the GT's on 15" rims. I would agree my spare might look neat but is not correct. I need to step up and order a set of the Wide Tread Size reproductions and mount on a spare set of rims and then enjoy!


Steve, The GoodYear Wide Tread F70-14 tire in your picture looks very nice.
I was looking a the the Camaro dealer sales brochure and the tires in the photo's of the Camaro SS all appear to be
GoodYear Wide Tread F70-14
or
Firestone Wide Oval F70-14
The photo's look as if the tire lettering was airbrushed on the tire walls after the fact. Not sure of the revision on the sales document (D-67140)

There was a thread earlier with some great info:

Lots of information to digest.

I have installed the NEW Firestones Firehawk INDY 500 radials (P225) Car is more stable.

Interesting side note May 1985 Camaro Corral 'Get out and Vote'
A pole was taken to help determine which tire would be reporduced by Keley Tire (Custom wide tread poly glass or Wide tread GT) 15".
