Seems like everybody wants to buy them. I would put them on EBay at no reserve. Would be fun to watch.

Amazes me some of the parts that are reproduced that don't wear out like 12 bolt backing plates and front brake line brackets but no-one reproduces these.

Yes they are a neat tire because they are different. As far as my Z-11 goes I have no clue if they were on the car from the factory or installed later as a replacement tire sometime in the 1970s.

As of now I am rockin polyglas and with the build date of the car as 05A this is just as likely to be the original tire given the ordering sheet change with respect to tires.

I have yet to see a 69 Camaro with Polyglas documentation so probably not very likely that those were the factory installed tires.

Technically the fiberglass belted F70 x 14 RWL tires did not become a Camaro option until the April 2, 1969 revision of the dealer ordering sheet as RPO PL4 which was a $26.25 option on Camaro SS.

You cannot tell from the pictures but I do have F's on the front and H's out back, so yes absolutely not factory original.

I like the Polyglass look and the car has good stance too-as a driver it scratches the itch just fine.
