69 Chevrolet Goodyear Tires
This is a question for the 69 guys. I have a late 69 built Chevelle in the shop with an August 69 cowl tag build date from the Lakewood Atlanta plant and I'm trying to determine if this car would have had Wide Tread speedway tread tires or the 70 style Polyglas? Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA

I would talk to John @ Kelsey Tire. He can help with the years and usage for Speedway, Wide tread GT, and Polyglass tires. Mike |

Re: 69 Chevrolet Goodyear Tires
Post up the date code too. Goodyear date codes are known, other brands not so much. And there are allot of Chevelle guys on here that should be able to confirm 69 Chevelle tire usage.

My June built 69 L78 car, Baltimore built, has the original, never on the ground spare. It is a Firestone.

Re: 69 Chevrolet Goodyear Tires
Goodyear and Firestone were both suppliers to all of the plants. If you have an original spare, that will tell you more than I can.
Tell me the build date of the car and I can tell you what kind of Goodyear would be correct. I can also help you get the best price out there for the Goodyears. Sorry, I reread the first post. I would say that the F70-14 Polyglas RWL No size would be the correct tire. Here is a link to the photo of the tire I am talking about: Polyglas RWL no size
