The Goodyear Polyglas F70-14 (small white letter) were also available, and were optional on the 69 Trans Am. These tires are available repro, but are very expensive.
thin white line tires, try michiline symetry. 1/2 inch thick! look awesome and original
1969 Firebird 350 Coupe, Rust free Texas body, formerly brown, now a TA clone with quality spoiler, latching hood and TA wheel; 1969 GTO Convertible Expresso Brown/Parchment(currently painted red). Both numbers matching. My first love was a Cameo White 67 326 Coupe, bought back in 1983, at the age of 17, for $1,200. Been hooked since on PONTIAC!

I don't mind the whitewalls, as long as they were available on the actual car. For instance, they're not too bad looking on a 69 Trans Am because most of the factory photos of 69 T/A's show them with whitewalls. But the whitewall stripe has to be right width (I believe it was a 3/8" stripe) in order to look good. Anything wider and it looks tacky.
The 1968 Hurst/Olds is another car that looks ok with whitewalls (that was only tire available on the 68 H/O). I've seen white letter tires on a 68 H/O, and it just doesn't look right.
One of the worst applications of whitewalls I've ever seen are on a 73 Trans Am, which was actually available (I believe they were radials), and they really look wrong on those cars.
I also have an old fashioned belted whitewall (white stripe) and it measures 1/2 inch just like these new symmetry tires from Micheline. Or you can buy the belted repop tires for about 160 a tire but if you are driving the car, you may want radials
