Looking for some opinions:
I have a 69z that I am keeping very original. It is 100k mile driver with all numbers matching under the hood. Body has some scratches and patina. Mirrors have slight pitting, bumpers show wear etc. Previous owner replace all emblems, I have swapped back to original.
I currently have new BFGoodrich radial TAs on it, but I also have a set of Goodyear Wingfoot HPs.
If my goal is to keep it old school original - do you think the Wingfoots add to that or have Radial TAs always been the tire of choice.
Thanks
Does Goodyear even make the Wingfoot any more? They certainly were a popular choice back in the day but unless the set you have are newer than about five years I’d relegate them to your personal museum.
Right on, put a tire on that was made recently. Like the others said, those Wingfoots are from the 80’s. If you’re gonna drive it put new tires on. Cooper Cobras are a good white letter alternative.
I have the bfg’s. Great looking tire and traction. If you are going rwl out plan on constantly cleaning the white as the yellow fast then brown. Pita. Do a search on them.
I had old cooper radials on mine, could spin tired easily from a roll, ride was so so. Put the wide tread gt on and no more rolling punch spin. Ride was better than the coopers, plus they just make the car.
