In addition to Firestone and Goodyear, '69s also came with Uniroyal tires. Given the high price and lousy ride of repro bias ply tires- are you SURE you want to switch? The Firestone problem were with the early radials which only came out on '73s.

Thanxs Mikey:ugh
For your reply Im leaning on going with the Goodyear F-70/15 bias ply tires
Never even rode in a car that im aware of anyway lol.... so im not sure how
the ride is? are they noisy? and the rubber real hard tire that give it a rougher ride?
i just wanted to try to keep it to the original specs so one day i can put it in a show

Bias ply tires will make you wonder if something's broken in the suspension as the car squirms and wanders all over the place. See if you can get a ride in a car with them before you decide.

Best of both worlds would be have your show wheels and tires and the other ones that you use for everyday driving that would include radial tires.......easy peasy....
