Kelsey does have a Goodyear bias ply sidewall look radial. For a '66 with 14 inch wheels, could just black out "Polyglass" and tire size, as an option.

Those Goodyear are nice, but they are over $500 each....pricey.

FR70 would be pretty tall wouldn't they? Possible front fender rubbing, especially if the Shelby drop has been done.

I put a set of them on 6S1431. Yes, they were expensive but the ride and handling are much improved over the BF Goodrich T/A's I had on the car.
I don't have the Shelby Drop and the only time they rub is at a full lock turn against the inner frame rail
I like the look and to me they were worth the price

Owned since 1971, NOW DRIVEN OVER 250,000 MILES, makes me smile every time I drive it and it makes me feel 21 again.😎

No issues at all...even with my stance.

FWIW, a few years ago, I put on 195/70x14 BFG Touring T/A's. They have a diameter of 24.74 inches and the originally spec'd Goodyear Blue Streaks have a diameter of 24.83 inches. They are non-white lettered and look very believable on the car and are reasonably easy to steer when parking, turning, etc.  Fairly difficult to find but stock is out there.
