By virtue of the paperwork trail so near and dear to all of us there is no question fiberglass belted F70 x 14 RWL tires were a late option on 1969 Camaros.

[/ QUOTE ] Were the 1969 Uniroyal Tiger Paws or Firestone Sport Car 200s fiberglas belted or only nylon? I see the shipper references "FG Belted" tires but what says that means they had to be of the Goodyear "Polyglas" variety? This is an interesting debate for sure.

As 1969 Camaros were built into the '70 model year I believe it is possible some had Goodyear Polyglas tires just as other '70 models did.

The Sport Car 200 was an odd tire, sold only through Firestones' Racing Division as a friend learned when he cut one on his new Z/28. Both it and the Uniroyal Tiger Paw were cheap bias-ply tires that were gone in 20,000 miles.

"FG belted" does not mean Goodyear. We do not seem to know what it means.

It looks like:
5=total tires
PL4=F70X14 Bias Belted Ply white lettered(This is an RPO code shown not in the 1969 Chevrolet dealer Ordering Catalog,but rather in the 1970)
JD=?
FG=FiberGlass belted Tire
