So the OEM tire is a "moot" point.

The essence of this thread AFAIK was which muscle car . . . right off the showroom floor . . . could be considered King of the muscle cars.

So such things as which transmission was standard or mandatory, what was the standard tire size, what was the standard rear axle ratio, did it include "posi?"

Then you have to consider what were available options? Could you improve on what was standard by spending more money or were you stuck with "it."

Let me give you an example - 1970 GS455 came standard with G70x14 tires and a 3.42 non-posi rear. Order the Stage 1 option and you got a 3.64 posi rear included. And you could order G60x15 tires on either steel wheels and hubcaps or extra charge 15" chrome "Magnum 500" wheels.
