Tony, which Firestones were used in late 69? Was it the Wide O Oval like the tires used on the 70 Chevelles?

That's what came on mine Bill.

Interesting. I'm putting a 2nd set of SS wheels/raised white letter tires, together for my 69 El Camino, and wasn't sure if or when Wide Ovals were installed at the factory on 69 Chevelles.

----Sort of a small highjack, but what are the thoughts on Cokers repro F-70 Firestones as far as both looks and correctness???......Bill S

I still haven't seen a 69 Chevy with a factory Polyglas tire. I heard somebody spotted a spare in a car but one spare doesn't convince me.
