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.

 

I wonder that as well. I bought the Wingfoot series for my Mach1 probably 20 years ago and memory tells me they were being discontinued then.

Which brings me to the next question of even if you have them are they so old that no tire shop would touch them by now?

 

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.

 

Put the repop original goodyear wide tread gt on it. They really make the car especially on a original 69 z

 

I had them on my Z. They drive like roller skates compared to the cheapest radials . I put about 100 miles on them, and then put the BFG's on it.

 

Cooper Cobras have a new font that looks more like the BFG. . . . . just put a set on my 33K mile all original 69 for $97 a tire. . . . .235/60/14.

 

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.

 

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
