I remember purchasing my first set of tires in 1970 for my 1966 Fury that I still own. These tires were the then new letter designations (this set was Goodyear F-70 14 wide tread polyglas ,and by the way is still on the car)...I recall the designation was new then so it is safe to say 1969-70 was the time slot of changing from the old numeric to the new letter method of sizing tires. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
