Goodyear P225/70R15 Polysteel Tire – Raised White Letters (RWL) with Large Lettering

The Goodyear P225/70R15 Polysteel – RWL Large Letters is one of Goodyear’s most popular radial performance tires from the late 1970s and early 1980s. Originally equipped on muscle and luxury performance vehicles, the Polysteel featured advanced steel-belted radial construction for improved handling, ride comfort, and tread life—marking a transition from bias-ply to modern radial technology.

This version features bold, oversized Raised White Letter (RWL) sidewall graphics, delivering a commanding visual presence on period-correct restorations. The P225/70R15 sizing was commonly used on factory 15-inch rally or styled steel wheels, making it an ideal choice for performance-oriented cars of the era.

Key Features:

  • Size: P225/70R15

  • Construction: Steel-belted radial with Polysteel technology

  • Design: Manufactured using the Goodyear original molds, ensuring a period-correct sidewall and tread.

  • Application: OE fitment on late-1970s to early-1980s Chevrolet Corvette, Camaro Z28, Pontiac Trans Am, Monte Carlo SS, and other GM performance and sport models

  • Proudly made in the USA

Tire size is compatible with these and other models. Please consult your owner’s manual for exact tire fitment specifications.

Tire Cleaning & Maintenance
For tire cleaning, we recommend using an SOS pad along with soap and water. This method works for routine cleaning and effectively removes the protective blue layer from white walls and raised white letters on your new tires.

DO NOT use any chemicals to clean your tires; this can cause the tire’s white walls and raised white letters to turn brown. If you use chemicals to clean your tires and your white walls turn brown, you can not make a warranty claim.

Note for the 1st Generation Camaro only – Read Carefully

14” Goodyear Tire Fitments
Goodyear Polyglas tires were first used and going forward in April of 1969. For Goodyear RWL fitments for vehicle build dates beginning in April 1969 through October 1969, use Goodyear Polyglas SKU# CB5KL. November through December of 1969, a running change was in place with Goodyear Polyglas installations. Thus either the CB5KL or CB5KJ may be used. As you can see, this encompasses the first half of the 1970 build year. Prior usage from 1967 through March of 1969 was the Goodyear Speedway Wide Tread series.

15” Goodyear Tire Fitments
The Z28 cars of this generation are well-defined. 1967 735/15 Red Line SKU# CBBMV. 1968 & 1969 Goodyear Speedway Wide Tread GT E70/15 RWL STK# CB3EX. 1970 – see running change note above. F60/15 RWL STK# CB4GF or CB4GG, depending on the vehicle build date. The F60/15 RWL STK# CB4GG was used from January 1970 through the end of first-generation O. E. bias fitments.
