Thanks for the photo but not relevant if knowing if those tires are original as it is clear those are custom rims on your Olds.

Yup -- wheels came from my wife's uncle ... tires are the original that were on the Olds wheels. Picture was taken in Feb of 70 as border indicates ... Craig

Ordered the car in Vietnam and it was delivered to Bob White Olds in Green Bay, Wi. in January. My wife and brother had it "broke in" pretty good when I returned stateside in February 69'. Craig

Reading this thread leaves me a bit confused -- seems there are indications those tires in the photo couldn't have been original to my 442. I've slept some since the mag wheel installation but I have to ask -- why would I buy "new" Goodyear tires when they are less than year old. I still think those were the original tires. Am I off base with that assumption? Craig

You have a 1969 right?

Is it a W30?
