Title: 67 Tires
Post by: 67gta on February 12, 2022, 02:19:40 PM

I've been getting all kinds of answers! What are the correct optional tires for 67? One red stripe, two red stripes, or Firestone white letter?

Thanks
Jim

Jim,
Try this for a start, the 1967 Mustang Facts Books -

My 66 version answers the question for 1966. The 67 version may do the same.

The answer for this is the best answer to almost every question that could be asked; "it depends".   Question #1 - are you looking to find out what a specific car came with from the factory, or are you looking for how much leeway you have with the Concours-minded group?  Question #2 - what does the Marti report say on this subject?  Question #3 - what size and type wheels?

Attached are a page from the "1967 Ford Car Facts Book: (from which select pages were taken from for the printing of the booklet Jim noted), and copies from Salesman's Price Books dated 10-17-66 and 5-29-67. Note that there were no Factory Red Line Tires listed for 1967.

Hope this helps,

Bob

Given the OP user name 67gta I would say that there is a 99% chance it came with Firestone wide ovals with the thin white sidewall.  Assuming that it does not have the ultra-rare competition suspension option.

Thanks all for the info. I dug out the Marti and it lists 'GT Equipment Group" and "F70-14 Wide Oval Tires". The above literature states "WSW", does that mean "Firestone Wide Oval" white letters or a single white stripe?

There is an awful lot of really good information out there that is available to you at any time of day or night, it is just a matter of effective searching.  Then you don't need to wait for the answers!

white sidewall.

Looks like that's the answer - kind of boring.
