I'll throw in another vote for the Goodyear Polyglas GT white lettered. I just prefer their looks over the Firestone.

Firestone has a better contact patch, if you're going to use the car for racing

Please excuse my swearing in my first post. I am so excited it honestly slipped!

The Z28s recieved PolyGlas GTs and the SS Camaros received Wide-o-Ovals - So I could either way. BUT, I have located a set of PolyGlas GTs so I think I am going to go with them. THANKS GUYS!!

I think you will find that the Wide Tread GT tires were not of Polyglas construction. From my experience the traction was somewhere between nothing and nil.
