Can anyone tell me the tire my 69 Dart GT came with new? What is the best replacement? Coker Wide Oval? Poly/Glass? Pretty sure it is E 70-14? I'm looking for a Redline tire.
Thanks

I think the Firestone Poly/Glass bias ply tire's look more original but it
looks like the BF Goodrich Silvertown Radial 205/70/R14 might be the way to go.
Any thought's? Pro's/con's?

Nice looking Dart! Got any other pictures to post? Seems like E70/14 or D70/14 is the likely size that came on the car - depending on the wheels (14x5.5in), dish hub caps, or mag style hub caps. Could have been white walls, got the build sheet?

E70-14 Firestone WideOvals would be the way to go and would have been an option.
Just an FYI, your car will drive weird and sometimes be scary with those old tires. Hitting the ruts (grooves caused by heavy traffic) on a section of highway will make you crap your pants.
I run E70-14 Wide Ovals.

They are correct, but let me give you a warning. Firestone Wide Ovals will get the **** killed out of you on wet pavement. You have been warned.

Thanks for the replies.
I agree, the Wide Ovals look great but the ride quality would definitely suffer.
I decided to go with the BF Goodrich Silvertown Radial 205/70/R14 on the factory steel wheels with the Dog Dish cap's.
I have Rally's on the car now and love the look but also always liked the painted steelies.
