Well Duke I went and did it

[Chuck R.]

I picked up a like new set of 5 GoodYear "Integrety" 225/70/15 tires for my project "Mind Bender".

Picked them all up at a local law enforcement auction for $100.00

Man, talk about rubber on the road, these tires are brutes!

Now please tell me they will fit my AGs and also fit into the spare tire tub.

Any history on this tire good or bad?

Re: Well Duke I went and did it

What's the service description and UTQG rating? For what year Corvette?

Re: Her's what I've found

in order as depicted on the side wall

E0LR

DOT PDUU

1MHR

0300

Tread wear "460"

Traction "A"

Temperature "B"

Whoops, sorry Duke, I have a 68 small block. It WOULD help knowing that wouldn't it

Thanks for your assisstance,

Re: Her's what I've found

The service description is located just after the size designation and consists of a two or three digit number that is the load index followed by a letter to indicate the speed rating, if it's a speed rated tire. You need a table to convert the load index code to actual load, but this data is also placarded on the tire.

A treadwear rating of 460 is a fairly hard compound and a temperature rating of "B" would indicate a speed rating of no higher than "T" and probably "S"

Overall these are so-so tires, definitely not high performance.

Goodyear's police pursuit tire is the Eagle RSA in either 225/70R-15 or 235/70R-15. The service descriptions are 100V and 102V for the 225 and 235 respectively, and both carry a UTQG rating of 260wear, A traction, and A terperature.

The closest match in revs per mile to the OE F70-15 is 215/70R-15, but I recommend the 225/70R-15 for all Sharks since they all have enough wheel width for this size, including the 7-inch Rallys on '68. If anything the speedo will likely be more accurate as the F70s were a little less in revs per mile than the earlier 6.70-15 cars, and the speedo gearing did not change.

The F70-15 and 215/70R-15 are speced at 775 revs/mile, the 6.70-15 and 225/70R-15 at 760 revs/mile - about a two percent difference. When the tires wear down to the wear bars the revs/mile will increase about two percent.

Re: Thanks Duke

I appreciate your patience with me in working through this amazingly very involved and in-depth process.

As I'm not going to be running any road courses anytime soon I think that they will quite sufficiently do the job until I can swing an up-grade.

Thanks again Duke,

Re: Her's what I've found

Thanks again Duke,
