Looks great. Have they made a Goodyear Polyglas radial yet?

Goodyear is a different company (Kelsey)
Last time I talked to them at BJ they had planned to do some Goodyear radials but I haven't seen anything.

The Firestone radials come from Coker. They were there as well and they had no plans to make any E-70 Sport Car 200's. I guess not enough demand. Would be cool if they did.

First company to come out with the E-70 Radials I'll probably buy them.

Yes. But they have a funky tread design.

I installed a set of FR/70x14 wide oval radials on my SS454 Chevelle earlier this year.

I spent 15 years working in the tire industry. The wide oval radials appear to be a poorly made cheap tire that they are charging a premium for because of the look. I will say... they do ride nice and look cool. I probably would not buy another set. My SD455 was due for a new set of tires. A couple months ago I bought a set of 245/60R15 Mastercraft Avengers for $108/ea from Walmart. In all honesty... the Mastercrafts are a better quality tire overall... but don't have the "look". I used to be a BFG T/A guy. But BFG quality has gone down and the prices have gone through the roof.

Man do they ever have a strange tread design. That alone would make me purchase the Firestone Wide Oval's. I do love the original Polyglas look and have a set on my Nova SS.

This car somewhat vindicates your tire choice Steve. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...amaro-z-28-65/
