I came across a road test of a 1970 SS396 Chevelle in "1001 Custom and Rod Ideas" magazine, spring1970. The car is running General 700 Bia/Belt F70x14 fiberglass belted tires. Anyone remember these tires? I don't.

Here is a picture of the subject tire:

That's the 26 mile LS-6 above.
These tires were really not constructed well.I read a roadtest magazine article where they put different brands under the microscope,and the General 700 series was the first to give up the ghost.
I have seen a few sets stored in garages,as owners took them off faster then their A.I.R. pumps sometimes.
Dennis Cumby's LS-6 was assembled with them,and he still has the torn up hides.
