George....all, I just put a set (F70-14) on the "worst case scenario" as the 74 Matador X...just considering the weight is 1000 lbs +/- more then a 2 seater AMX. It drives better then the Goodyear Eagle ST's (215/70-14)that were on it before. A very good friend has them on his Superbird....F70-14's too, and he is impressed with traction and handling and that thing is a tank!!!!, it has to be heavier then the Matador. I personally balanced them on my 25 year old Snap On balancer, they took very little weight and the threads were smooth and straight. The car drives very smooth, I drove to Hershey and back in October last year (450 mile round trip), no complaints. Rusty supplied me with this set and he was great in communication and delivery. I have driven my one 69 AMX that still wears it's original Polyglas Red lines and it is rough and the compound is hard......but it is a survivor, George is very familiar with this car (Lee's Beale Street Blue car). Are they a radial NO, but they are 10 times better then the original 1968-1970's version as built by Goodyear.

I guess that puts these into serious consideration when the time comes to replace the tires on the DPL. OEM stock size was 7.75X14. Optional upgrade size was 8.25 X 14. I guess that would translate to either a F or G 70 x 14. I'll probably go with the "G's.
The Good Years would be my first choice as far as the OEM appearance goes. If they ride and drive as well as Ross relates then I'll likely go that route. I'll need to price them out through Rusty when the time draws nearer. Edited by george w - Apr/07/2017 at 11:18am |
