Goodyear Speedway Wide Tread Pin White Stripe F70-14

The Goodyear Speedway Wide Tread tire debuted in 1967 in F70-14 sizing, perfect for Chevelle, Mustang, Torino and many other muscle car and pony car applications. This tire features a pinstripe whitewall and the four ply polyester construction is the predecessor to the famous Polyglas tire. This tire was used in 1967 and 1968, and was Goodyear's introduction into the alphanumeric sizing, stepping away from the previous numeric sizing like 735-14.

Pinstripe Whitewall

As wide whitewalls were phased out, the width of the whitewalls continued to shrink until it got down to 3/8-inch. These very narrow whitewalls are often called pinstripe whitewalls or pin whites. By the late 1960's, pinstripe whitewalls became common options on cars like the Corvette, and continued to be popular on full sizes classics, like Lincoln Continental and Cadillacs. The full size cars also saw variations of pinstripe whitewalls, which included dual whitewalls, and a combination of narrow and wide whitewalls.

Bias Ply Construction

Bias ply tire construction is a method that was used from the 1900's through the 1970's on passenger cars and light trucks. Bias ply tires feature ply cords that run at a 45 degree angle to the bead, and overlap in a crisscross pattern, depending on how many ply layers are used. This creates a strong tire, but bias ply tires have a tendency to follow breaks or ruts in the pavement. Bias ply tires are the most authentic choice for classic car restorations and traditional hot rod builds. Coker Tire offers a huge variety of bias ply tires for many applications.
