Re: correct tires for 1969 camaro
The most correct reproduction 14" Camaro SS tire would be the Good Year.
The correct tire for the car would be a Firestone Wideoval... (small letter tire) not reproduced and nearly impossible to find...

Re: correct tires for 1969 camaro
[ QUOTE ]
what tires are period correct for 69 camaro they sell two different types one with the tire size in raised white letters and one without ? [/ QUOTE ] No, that's only for Polyglas which is NOT correct for 69. You want Wide Tread only (non-belted). To further confuse, the full name for Polyglass is Custom Wide Tread Polyglas...... And to clarify, Goodyear, Firestone, Uniroyal and Goodrich were all suppliers of RWL tires to Chev in 69 and all are correct. Of course, only the Goodyear Wide Tread is being reproduced correctly for 1969 use.

Re: correct tires for 1969 camaro
Wait, so I'm confused now between what you guys are saying and the fact I think Chevy had about 2 or 3 different types of white letter tires in the '69 catalog. I'm not disputing firstgenaddict's assertion and pic that those Firestones are THE correct tire, because I believe him.
However, what ones should we get now? The ones that say Goodyear and then Polyglas F70-14 are NOT correct? I see them on about 3/4 of restored vehicles. If those aren't correct, should we get the ones that were on the Z/28? (see below) If not, which ones. A pic would be helpful. Thanks.
