Default Junk Tire Value
Hey Guys, I'm assuming this tire has no value but I thought I'd run it by you before tossing it. I know there are some old tires worth money but I doubt this is one of them. It's a Goodyear Polyglas G70-15 that was a spare on a '68, guessing from the 1970's.




Comments?

Thanks!

Might be worth plenty to someone who has 3 or 4 of them already. If it cleans up well. Some like to keep them on-hand and only mount them when going to car shows.

Dont think mounting and then inflating that tire would be too safe.

G70 was not an original Corvette size, nor were polyglass tires original Corvette items. Still a neat old piece, though!

G width radials on Corvettes were steel-belted only (according to the Corvette Black Book).

Seen a nice house with those planters all the way up the driveway edge on both sides. Guess they didn't want a car getting onto the nice lawn.
