GR 70-15 GoodYear Steelguard

[PeteLeathersac]

Great info and thanks guys also good to know you're still having fun Bill!
Again it's an original unused spare, anyone have an idea of a fair value and/or need one?
Were GR7015 BW Steelgards original on anything other than Vettes...F-cars etc all RWL?
Here's the Tire # below also decode I understand, anyone please feel free to add/correct.

My other '78Z has an original Firestone GR70-15 white stripe spare on the original painted rim so they definitely used GR70-15 in '78.

My 1978 Z, that I still have, came originally with G70-15 (which I think comes out to 225-70-15 metric-wise) Goodyear Steelgards with raised white letters.

You are right, I thought that we were using Metric sizing for GM in '78.

As for GR70-15 Steelgards, the RWL is being reproduced and the White Stripe is coming soon.
