Firestone Wide Oval Raised White Letter Tires

**SuperNovaSS** · #1 05-03-2009, 10:32 AM

I recently acquired some vintage wide oval raised white letter tires. There are four tires total. 2 are F70-14 and 2 are D70-14. They are in awesome shape. I am wondering what the original application of these tires is. I know the F70s were used on quite a few muscle cars. What about the D70s? I am trying to see if I have an application for these or if they need to be passed on to the next guy.

Thanks,

Jason

A few have asked me what style these tires are. Rather than try to explain it I figured I'd post a few quick pictures. Please let me know if you know what the original application to either pair of tires is.

Thanks,

Jason

Those are 1970, possibly later.

Thanks, that is what I thought. I thought this style was used on 70 Camaros and Chevelles, maybe Novas. I do not have any of those. I do have a 69 Ranchero GT and thought they might look the part on that car.

Thanks,

I seem to recall seeing D70x14 on 67 Camaro SS396 cars.

I think those are redline Firestone wide ovals. Like I said, I've had a hard time finding factory applications for tires. Maybe I am looking in the wrong areas.

Thanks,
