    My Fremont built 455 car has its original Firestone Wide Oval still in the trunk.

    Old thread but what is the consensus here? On a 70 GS optioned with F8 redline tires, what brand is correct for an early Flint built car?

    That's whats confusing me. The order form lists the G-60s as "Wide Oval" but we know the correct 15" tires are Polyglas GT's :confused:

    The wide oval red line tire option for 1970 was G70-14. The only 15" tire available was with the F4 or F7 option "super wide oval white billboard lettered tires, G60-15.

    Same with the wheels, all were 14" except with the F4/F7 option.

    Wide Oval would be Firestone but you are correct the F4/F7 option also called them wide oval when they were Polyglass.
