I think any tire vendor that tells a buyer this is the correct tire for their 69 Chevy is doing their customer a dis-service because it is most likely not the tire used on their car. Just sell them the tire that was on 99.999999999999% of the cars.

Reading this thread leaves me a bit confused -- seems there are indications those tires in the photo couldn't have been original to my 442. I've slept some since the mag wheel installation but I have to ask -- why would I buy "new" Goodyear tires when they are less than year old. I still think those were the original tires. Am I off base with that assumption? Craig

earntaz... The Polyglas debate is about Chevrolet not using them.

If a person has a build sheet stating they had PL4 option code, this was a fiberglas belted tire with raised white letters. This could either be Firestone Wide Ovals or the Goodyear Polyglas. The Goodyear Speedway Wide Treads are not fiberglas belted tires. As anyone who has dealt with me knows, I am all about service and integrity. I usually go overboard on giving information of value to the customer so they can make an educated choice. I would like to thank Jerry MacNeish for the document and the photograph of the tire posted earlier.

Thanks for clearing that up Rusty. Sure wish I had held on to that one. I have been told it is still in someones back yard in Clovis, NM ... some of my kin are still on the look out for it. Craig
