Where are people getting these Goodyear tires from?

Keep them armoralled I've heard of cracking problems with a lot of the repro tires.

First off, Armoral is just mildew in a spray bottle. Secondly, if you get that on the treads of these biased ply tires you have just put banana skins on and you can't even pick where the car will run off of the road.

If you notice the original air pressure recommendations of the bias plys, they are 26psi. That's the only way they can be made to ride acceptably.

It's not just the bias v radial ply, it's the compound of the tread.  On a damp surface, high speed winding tight two lane highway they are just a death wish that might come to be.

Bias plys are something about "the good old days" that you just don't want to bring back again under any circumstances, BUT they do look VERY good!

Thanks for all the feedback. I do think I'd be happier with radials and with it being in nice driver condition I may as well make it one with radials. Now I have to go look at pictures and decide to have the white letters exposed or go black wall- we will see!

Bought my spare tire for a 68 GT 500KR at Speedway Automotive, as they had a large discount available at the time.

Some things else to consider, I got GoodYear radials and then painted the top of the molded black GoodYear with white acrylic paint so I could have a good performing tire and have it read white GoodYear.  Painted photo below...

Also, one of our regulars makes white GoodYear letters that adhere to the tire sidewalls, get the tire, any brand you like, and make them read GoodYear.

+2 on Bob and Steven...... when I got my '67 I couldn't get those damn things off fast enough..... some things just need to be left back in the '60s & '70's.

So what is the "Tyre" size and model....Avon website is a mess. Trying to find a 15 inch is like looking for a cheap Shelby.

Try SASCO's site 67 GT350. They offer a DOT approved  215/70-15 in the CR6ZZ which is a quality radial tire.

Wow, they used to have a simple, easy to navigate site. Now it seems to be a phone app. Here are your size choices;

I got them as soon as i got my car because i love the look & immediately posted a thread asking if my terrible experience with them was normal ,or possibly something else,many other suggestions where made & i ended up going through the whole suspension & some steering stuff & would have to say most of my issues where not tire related & i find them very tolerable now .

Who os the person that adds the lettering? Would I ship tires right to him?

Youtube is your friend regarding the application of the stickers. Racelinedigital.com is just one of the many suppliers of stickers.

Just checked Speedway Automotive and they have the small and large letter Kelsey E70 x 15 (Goodyear Tires) for $385 & $405 respectively. I think I was able to score a 10 or 15% discount and bought my black letter E70 x 15 KR spare tire.

I have used the glue on letters before with good success. It can be challenging to find a flat surface area with out letters on a tire to glue the new letters on to. Take note of the process described in the link where they shave the side wall to eliminate unnecessary raised letters to give a flat side wall to glue to. That is the best way.
