Did Goodyear have a vintage "sport" tire ?

Does this refer to a specific tire or another name for a production tire on a 1968?

I don't know for sure but suspect it is another name for the uncommon speedway 350 or polyglas blackwall tire.

Is the information here correct as far as early '67 production ? and also as stated in '68 ?

In 1968, early cars used the small letter Speedways, transitioned to the large letter Speedways and then finally the black side wall Polyglas GT.

Well? Semantics I suppose? You had to be a "Sport" to buy a new set of those tires. They were around twice the price of the less popular "jabonga" brands.

     Pete,
       My local Goodyear dealer pushed Blue Streaks in '65-66 and also carried the "Speedway 350" in '67 , but for '68 the big push was for Polyglas tires. Then in '69 the 60 series tires were the "have to have" tire , even over "not street legal" race tires they also sold. The less expensive "Rally GT" was the next addition.

Thanks Randy

I thought there was a Sport tire, but I may be thinking of Firestone

Goodyear also had 'WIDEBOOTS GT; advertised in 1968.

The lettering actually read 'WIDETREAD GT"

    Yes Firestone had a "Sports 200" tire with raised white lettering. It was targeted to the Camaro bunch. Didn't last long as the "Wide Oval" was available in more sizes and got more advertising.
