This Goodyear Power Cushion 775-15 bias ply tire serves a very specific purpose as the original equipment on 1965 and 1966 Chevrolet Corvette. Goodyear produced this tire with a .350-inch Gold Stripe, and the 775-15 sizing is perfect for the second generation Corvette. This was a rare two-year only option, but many Corvette restorers upgrade their cars to the attractive Gold Line tire.
Corvette Sting Ray buyers could choose from many options, including the tires. Blackwall, narrow whitewall and goldline tires were options during the 1965 and 1966 Corvette Sting Ray production years. Goldline may also be referred to as goldwall or gold stripe tires. These tires are available in authentic Firestone, BFGoodrich and Goodyear brands in the original 775-15 bias ply size, and we also produce a modern radial BFGoodrich 205/75R15 with a 3/8-inch gold line.
Bias ply tire construction is a method that was used from the 1900's through the 1970's on passenger cars and light trucks. Bias ply tires feature ply cords that run at a 45 degree angle to the bead, and overlap in a crisscross pattern, depending on how many ply layers are used. This creates a strong tire, but bias ply tires have a tendency to follow breaks or ruts in the pavement. Bias ply tires are the most authentic choice for classic car restorations and traditional hot rod builds. Coker Tire offers a huge variety of bias ply tires for many applications.
