Goodyear GR70-15 White Stripes

[William M.]

I'd like to find a set of Goodyear Steelgards with the thin white stripe to put on my '73 for judging. According to the Black Book, 19,903 were equipped with white stripe radials (RPO QRM) out of a total production of 30,464. Here's how they looked on the car when it was brand new:

There are Firestone 500's around with white letters. I've even found Goodyear Steelgards with white letters. But none with white stripes. Anyone know of some for sale?

Hi Bill, Saw a Firestone 500 "correct" white stripe GR70-15 at Carlilse last August. Just gotta keep looking. Will keep my eye open for you. Save the Wave.>George

I saw that one with the wheel on ebay. Might be worth it to try and buy.

I was at Elmer's Corvettes (Webster, NY)yesterday looking for you and all he had was a white lettered 500 with wheel and he told me $300.00. The wheel was rusted real bad and letters on tire were flated out. Rubber was good and it was never down on Corvette. DOT marks on tire : VDU5 FM 7417. 806N. Wheel was very rusty, wheel was marked(I think) K1J. Like I said it was rusted real bad so I might be off on wheel code. Save the Wave.>George
