Original Goodyear Poly glas tires

I have a set of original Goodyear F70 14 poly glas tires that I picked up earlier this summer and thought that they where used reproductions. I was thinking of using them to cruise around on but I would hate to waste a set of original dated tires. They are in good used shape. They are not perfect but they are still nice and have a good amount of tread on them. Does anyone know what the value on something like this would be and if there would be any interest in them? I'm not looking to make a killing off of them. I'd just rather sell them to someone that wants the dated originals than wear them out. I didn't post this in the for sale section since I'm unsure of the value and also interest. Thanks for all of you help in advance.

I'd like them for my 69 "recreation"

Chuck...Polyglas is wrong for a 69 Camaro. You need Wide Tread.

Charley, I understand that, but my 69' being a FAKE, didnt think it would matter a lot.....I'm TOO cheap to spend $600 or whatever on NEW repops.....
Could YOU clarify which ORIGINAL cars did receive F70x14 Polyglas, as those tires seem to aappear often

Thanks, Chuck

Chevelles for one,and other GM A-bodies.

Polyglas tires became optional for 1969 Camaros as of April 1, 1969. It was such a PR fiasco that DeLorean mentioned it in his book about GM.

I have never seen a documented 69 with a polyglas tire. I have never even seen what appeared to be a orig Polyglas tire on a 69 rim. I have seen plenty of Wide Tread and Wide Tread GT's though.

There were no Polyglases on Chevrolets until the 1970 model year. Wide Tread was the only white lettered Goodyear used in 69.

I don't know a lot about how the dates break down but I talked with someone who knows a more about them and he had an original tire that we could compare them against. They still have the little stickers on them along with DOT molded into the tires. Which reproduction wouldn't have either of these things. Here are the numbers that are molded into them. AUNCL8DS - (B38, H38, B37). I'll try and post a few pictures of the tires later today. Jesse
