69 L78 camaro tires.
 
I know I have seen this discussion before but never saw a definative answer. I have a 69 L78 pacer, 05A build, which Goodyear tire is the right tire for this car. I am buying a set but want to buy the right ones for the car. There seems to be some with Wide tread, some with Polyglass, etc. etc. Can I get an answer about this or some options that are correct.

Thanks

Goodyear Widetread F70-14....Not Polyglas and not Widetread GT. Raised white letter Widetread.

Could the Uniroyal Tiger Paw have also come on a 69 Pace car as well?

Similar to this one with paceme's original owner.

Rick:
As with any 69 that was specified with F70x14 RWL, I would think the Uni or Firestone (Wide Oval in small letters) was supplied at random along with the Wide Tread.

Roy:
The Goodyear Wide Tread as described by Charley is your only option to buy as a repro.

I believe the rear of the tire had "Speedway Special" on it.

The repro wide tread is not technically correct for a 69. The lettering is different on the repro than on the original tires. But they are all that is available that even comes close.
