correct tires for 1969 camaro

[69Tom]

OK, perhaps I figured this out. We DO want the ones that say Polyglas F70-14 on the tire.


They are actually the Goodyear Custom Wide Tread Polyglas mentioned by Dave above. See here: http://www.universaltire.com/cart.ph...ategory_id=345

Sorry for the confusion. I know that Ricks or some other place I saw only sells the tires that say Polyglas on them without the tire size.

Hope I got that right. They're too expensive to mess up. haha.

The F70-14 RWL tires that came on a 69 SS/COPO are:

1. Firestone Wide Oval F70-14 as in the picture above (small white letters without the big O) - not reproduced

2. Uniroyal Tiger Paw F70-14 (small white letters) - not reproduced

3. Goodyear Wide Tread F70-14 (small white letters, NO Polyglas) - reproduced as "F70/14 Speedway Wide Tread RWL" by Kelsey.

These first one you posted pics of is the one you want. Wide Tread, NOT POLYGLAS. I agree 3/4 of the restored 69s you see have Polyglas tires on them, (either that or the 70-up style Wide O Ovals) but that doesn't make them right.

PS... Z/28s had E70-15 Wide Tread GT's or Firestone Sport Car 200's.

Oh wow. OK, well, I'm glad I saw this discussion. I would have purchased the wrong ones. Crazy. Thanks Joe and thanks for the list Jeff.

I need a set for my 70 Camaro SS. I assume the correct one's would be F70-14 Polyglas.

If the car was originally shod with F70-14s, then you could also use the repop Firestone Wide Oval F70-14s with the big O.
