Firestone steel radial 500 Corvette tires 1973 -77

[Ralph Spears]

Didn't the Trans Am use the same tires ? GR70 x 15

I know they used them on 1978 Z28's, not sure about 1977's or 1979's.

I had five of them replaced free on a 74 Corvette I bought used. Firestone didn't care that I wasn't the original purchaser, they just wanted to get them off the road.

Must have been in late 80 or 81. Corvette was a used car I was redoing. I heard on the TV about the recall, and that it was ending in a few days. I had the Corvette at a body shop in the middle of a repaint, so I went over there driving my 76 Monte Carlo and swapped tires and rims from one car to the other. As I recall, they wanted to see proof that I owned the car the tires were on (the Monte Carlo), but other than that, it was no problem.

I had a 74 LS4 convert with 7200 original miles that had this tire in the Tub never down split in half.
