Goodyear P225/70R15 Polysteel Tire – RWL – Small Letters 

Finish your classic with the right late-era Goodyear look using the Goodyear P225/70R15 Polysteel Tire – RWL – Small Letters. This tire is a great match for restorations and original-style builds that call for a more refined small-letter Raised White Letter (RWL) sidewall—subtle, clean, and true to the period when understated branding became part of the factory-correct presentation.

The P225/70R15 sizing delivers a classic 15-inch fitment with a road-friendly radial profile, making it a smart option for owners who want an authentic appearance that’s also well-suited for cruising and regular driving. The Polysteel styling helps keep the look correct for the era, while the small-letter RWL detail provides the finishing touch without overpowering the wheel-and-tire package.

Why the P225/70R15 Polysteel Small-Letter RWL is a restoration favorite

Many originals used smaller, cleaner sidewall lettering as vehicle styling evolved. If you’re restoring a car from that period—or simply prefer a more understated RWL look—this tire helps you maintain authenticity while keeping the overall presentation balanced and correct.

It’s also a popular choice for owners restoring iconic performance models like the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 and Pontiac Firebird, where the correct 15-inch proportions and small-letter RWL sidewall help preserve the factory-era vibe and overall stance.

Key features

  • Small-letter RWL: Subtle raised white letter styling for a factory-correct, understated look
  • Radial sizing (P225/70R15): Road-friendly profile for classic 15-inch applications
  • Polysteel styling: Period-appropriate Goodyear appearance for restorations and vintage builds
  • Design: Manufactured using the Goodyear original mold designs, ensuring a period-correct sidewall & tread
  • Made in the USA: Built with trusted American manufacturing for restoration-ready confidence

Perfect for

  • Weekend cruisers and regular drivers
  • Show builds focused on correct period presentation

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.

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.
