Default Re: F 70 14" Tires for Pure Stock

Our 427 car came with the F70 Uniroyals. Traction was nil. I don't know how you would make them hook up. I tried a friend's Wide Tread GTs and they were even worse. About like driving on ice. In the day, the Polyglas were the only way to go once they were available. Sounds like they still are except that the '69s didn't get them. That was a shame. Had our L78 car out for it's first run of the year. Just around the block. With the cold pavement, it was breaking loose in second gear when I gave it a shot. BFG T/As aren't the answer. Then again they weren't factory either. I'll be an F70X14 customer if the Uniroyals become available.
