Is anyone running the Firestone Wide Oval radial tires? Pros and cons?  The Goodyear Bias tires on my Z are over 15 years old.  They still look good, but alittle wary of them.  And would the FR70-15 fit?  Thanks Bob

I"m running them.  I think its a good day 2 look.  Correct though would be the good years.  They feel fine to me  on the road.

Bob I sent you a message.
As for Firestone's, wouldn't the sportscar 200s be the correct tire on a 69 if that's what you wanted

The Sportscar 200's were the correct tires that came on car. I still have one original as a spare.  Not much tread left. LOL   Im looking to upgrade to a radial, but like the older style look. Was just wondering how they handle.  Bob

I'm running the Coker Firestone Wide Ovals in FR70-15 on my Z/28. I think they look great and ride fantastic.
