Yes on the COPO tires.I have looked at a nice old day two shot of a 69 double COPO at the drags.The factory ralleys and Sport car 200's are clearly visable......

Sorry, Brian, I've got Corvettes on the brain. I meant E-70-15's. They do repro those. (But not F70-15's for late 60's/early '70's Vettes, or F-70-14's for the '69 Camaros and Chevelles of the world. Thus many are doomed to wear the slightly superior, but technically incorrect, Polyglas GT's.) Any tips on ID'ing repro E70-15 Wide Tread GT's or date coding originals would be appreciated.

Thanks for the Firestone sightings-I was just curious.

Yenko Chevelles used the F-70-15 Goodyear WTGT's. Some original COPO's I have seen used the Uniroyal Tider Paws on the F-70-14's. The word Polyglas is not used on 69 Chevrolets. I will look on some original NOS tires I have...BKH
