Tiger Paw Tire

[mrrec]

This site never ceases to amaze me. Already we seem to have two COPO Camaros built with RWL belted tires. I asked to be proven wrong, and was obliged! I haven't looked up the build dates of these two cars, but I'm guessing they are late model year builds - that would make sense.

I would think the proper tire for these SPECIFIC cars would be Polyglas, Firestone, Uniroyal and perhaps the General. The Polyglas is the only correct repro. The 1969 Firestone Wide Oval had the "Wide Oval" letters much smaller than the 1970 and up version being reproduced.

So the trend here is 1969 RWL belted tires only on the COPO cars. Someone prove a non COPO Camaro, Chevelle or Nova with RWL belteds and we'll blow this theory, too.

Mr. Moderator, can we move this thread to the Tech heading??
