All of you Day 2 guys!!!!
 

I have a question for all of you Day 2 guys! If you were to have your wish of wider than stock Polyglas tires, what size would you be looking for??? I have been talking with John Kelsey quite a bit and he is looking into the feasablity of building a larger than stock size Polyglas. Your input and willingness to purchase something like this will go a long way toward making it happen. Let me hear your thought and opinions!!

Re: All of you Day 2 guys!!!!
 

L60x15 was the most popular replacement/perf tire back then. I'd buy a pair for the hemi if they made them.

Re: All of you Day 2 guys!!!!
 

I believe Bob just bought polyglass L60-15s for his car. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

L-60's are what's on my car. I would buy a set if they were available.

I second that, I put L60 15s on my Camaro the week I bought it (7/78), and I have been looking for a useable set to put back on when I get done restoring it (back to how I had it when I first got it).

Re: All of you Day 2 guys!!!!
 

I would purchase a set for my nova.

Re: All of you Day 2 guys!!!!
 

L-60-15 is what I would say too.

Re: All of you Day 2 guys!!!!
 

In a hearbeat.

Re: All of you Day 2 guys!!!!
 

I still have some H-60x15 Polyglas that I ran on my 70 Z back in the day (2) era.............

Can anybody relate to H-60's

I just feel that the L-60's stuck out too far with a stock differential and stock wheelhouse.......

Re: All of you Day 2 guys!!!!
 

I think it depends what wheels you run, I had 15x7 positive offset (2 inch on the inside) Cragars on my Camaro and they just kissed the fender lips. With regular offset (3 1/2 to 4 on the inside) they would look good. Here is a pic of it in "78" with L60s and Cragars:

I have a new set of J60 15s to put on it if I don't find any L60s. Also I have some 275 60 15 BFG's on 5 spoke Rallys for my Son's 74 LT I could put on for comparison, they are about the size of L60s.

Re: All of you Day 2 guys!!!!
 

I know Sammy wants some H-70 x 15's....please make them for him so he will stop bugging me. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

wilma

I think the Nova crowd may want at least one choice that is a little narrower....otherwise air shocks will be required.

Re: All of you Day 2 guys!!!!
 

And actually, I always wished they would make the vintage thread BF TAs. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif

Re: All of you Day 2 guys!!!!
 

I have a pair of L60's on my Chevelle. They look great on the stock wheels.
I would buy a new pair, since these are at least 25 years old. The tread is still excellent, it's just the age that concerns me.

Re: All of you Day 2 guys!!!!
 

I was wondering where this thread was...Sign me up for at least one pair!...can they make them with double thick rubber on the tread area! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

I ran F60 15s on 15x6 Cragars on the front ( when I bought the car it had F60s on "ugly grey" painted 5 spoke Z28 wheels with two Firestone Super Sport tires and two Firestone Wide Oval tires, I used the SS tires cause it was a SS Camaro)

I agree with Chuck. H60-15s would be nice! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: All of you Day 2 guys!!!!
 

I will contact John and let him know there are some people ready for some H and L's!!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Re: All of you Day 2 guys!!!!
 

No doubt about the L60-15 choice on my part.

How are ya Jeff?

Re: All of you Day 2 guys!!!!
 

L60/15's and H70/15's. Too much wheel well shows with H60's in my opinion. I like the backs 27-28" tall. I ran H70/14's on the nova back in 1970. They fit perfect on the GM rally wheels. They were Schenuits made by Kelly I believe. You can buy L60 Goodyears fairly easy. I would love to see McCreary come out or repoped with some RWL's in that size. I guess I got to go root around in Philly at Donny White's garage. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif He's got em! I also have a deal brewing with Karen, Tommy's better half on a set of H70 Goodyears. Got to wait till he is out of town though. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Bob, send me your addrerss. [email protected] I want to send you something! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

YES.......Your ass was the 1st of only 3 to grace the driver's seat and the little metal "magnet ring" to hang the time slips on is still attached to the radio delete plate! YOU CAN DRIVE THE CAMARO anytime! That's an open invite.....(Darren & Verne,....yea, you can too!) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

What- no requests for N-50's?? When I was in high school N-50 tires apparently were sold as a package with air shocks and yellow traction bars. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Ah yes...the infamous Torque Twister N-50-15's...

Those were the days... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Re: All of you Day 2 guys!!!!
 

You could buy the tires at the Super Shops...

Yea, N50-15's. Fit under the stock rear wheelwells of my 70 Chevelle SS on 10" Vette rally wheels.

Oh yeah,that looks bad ass!!!!!

Re: All of you Day 2 guys!!!!
 

Once L60 X 15s became available, I ran nothing else on the back of our '69 Chevelle. With the proper back spacing, even larger tires would fit without jacking the rear end a mile in the air. Sticky Polyglas would be great. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

Re: All of you Day 2 guys!!!!
 

Sign me up for some L60 X 15's

Re: All of you Day 2 guys!!!!
 

Those N-50s kind of look like the nitto 315 drag radials on the back of my 99 Camaro SS. I bet it was hard to keep paint on the quarter panels back in those days. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

Only thing your Camaro needs is a drop... I've heard some not so good things about Nittos... how do you like them?
