FR78-15 Radials

[Jerry M.]

I have 4 matching FR78-15 Goodyear Polyglass Radials that have been on my resting '62 since 1978. Getting close to finishing the lengthy full restoration on this car and will be replacing them with Diamondback Auburn radials.

I'm not sure which model years (if any) that these Goodyears would be proper for judging purposes. They are in very good condition (for judging, not driving). I'm having trouble posting photos at this time.

Any interest.

FR78-15 tire size, Goodyear or otherwise, was never originally installed on any Corvette.

Thanks Joe.

I wasn't sure so I didn't want to trash them if someone had a need for them.

Also, I think the GY Polyglass tires were bias-belted types

C3 Corvettes used F70-15 bias ply tires from '68 to '72, GR70-15 radials beginning in '73, and 225/70R-15 beginning in 78 with 255/60s optional.
