Default 1969 corvette

Can anyone tell me what brand of tires came out on the 1969 corvette, and what size?

it depends on which option code your car had

PT6 = red stripe F70x15
PT7 = white stripe F70x15
PU9 = white letter F70x15

F70x15 is equivalent to the modern size of 215/70-15

I'm pretty sure that all tire options were from Goodyear

Luke, IIRC, Firestone Wide Ovals were also fitted on some of the 'Vettes that year....
