Firestone Wide Oval Tires

[Frank Cole]

Did Firestones come on Darts or Dusters or did they all come with Goodyears when ordered with Raise White letter tires?

 

[Murray]

Mine came with Firestones. Didn't they all?

1970 and on with raised white letters were only Good Year. Non white letter were various brands.

I'm tellin you here and now, if you get the Firestone Wide Ovals don't drive um in the rain.

Don't drive any bias ply tire in the rain.
They were both OEM suppliers for Plymouth, Dodge.
Never understood why everyone thinks that there were only Goodyear tires back then. Firestone was the major tire back then. Look at all of the drag and NASCAR pictures from the 60s and 70's.
Firestones were the dominant racing tires.
Very few Goodyear on anything 1/4 mile other than Top Fuel and a lot of those back then were M&H
1967 through 1974
Firestone RWL tires were available on Dodge cars from 1967 through 1974. Specifically, the Firestone Wide Oval tire was original equipment on many muscle and pony cars during this period.

I'm pretty sure 1963 to 1966 A-body only used Goodyear Power Cushion 6.40, 7.00 x 13 + 6.95 x 14. Never seen anything else.

Mine had Goodyears in the dealer showroom then:

Sticking with what I mentioned above, 1970 and up White Letter tires were Good Year only.

Question? Are you doing a restoration that will be judged?

On those years I have only seen Goodyear tires. Custom cushion or Polyglass tires. I thought that Firestone equipped cars were mostly on GM cars. But I can be wrong.

Firestone or Good Year it didn’t matter because they would be done in a few months and you would be on to the next set…
