Got American muscle you're restoring? Looking to bring back the retro look with period-correct tires and raised white letters? Tire Rack has you covered. Last week I was watching one of the car auctions on TV and couldn't help but pay attention to what tires were on the cars.
One muscle car after another either had the BF Goodrich Radial T/A, the Goodyear Eagle GT II or the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500. Each of these white letter tires come in a variety of 14- and 15-inch sizes for the Chevelles, Novas, Camaros, Mustangs and other muscle cars. These tires are always in demand and look great, too.

Well we are a mail order company so we can ship the tires anywhere you like. We also have recommended installers all around the country. Send me an email at steve@tirerack.com, if you would like to know who is in your area.
The only tire I will have in any of those sizes with raised white letters will be the BF Goodrich or the Firestone in a 217-70-15. Unfortunately no Goodyears.
The only white letter tires in this size are the BF Goodrich or the Firestone.
Unfortunately we don't know of any 16" wheel that will fit. I believe the brakes are too large on the GT. Only 17" and larger.
I would go with the BF Goodrich Radial T/A. You can't go wrong with that one.
I'm afraid BF Goodrich is the only RWL tire in this size.
Do you have it?
Unfortunately, those Goodyears are long gone.
It looks like BF Goodrich make two tires in that size with RWL. They are the Mud Terrain TA KM2 or the All Terrain TA KO. Hope this helps.
