F 70 14" Tires


I'm just finishing up a 1969 COPO tribute car for FAST/ pure stock. Does anyone have any recommendations that one brand (Goodyear, Uniroyal, Firestone) is better than another?
Thanks Andrew

Most report similar performance between the Goodyears and Firestones. The Firestones are a little cheaper. I don't think they make a repro Uniroyal 70 series.

BTW, you can legally run a G70-14 in FAST if you're so inclined.

While the 427 is being built.I plan on testing the car with a NOT legal 468 that makes 790hp, just to get the handle of running on smaller tires. With 28 12.5 et streets ,leaf springs and no traction bars, with the 468 and a fogger and plate off the line ,it has 60 ft in the 1.30's. What could expect out of an F70 14 for a 60 ft time.

Terry has run 1.55`s, but 1.6`s are now common in FAST, 1.7`s/1.8`s are realistic. emoticon

On a 69 COPO Camaro can you run F70s ft and G70s rear?
