NOS tire, possibly correct for the 1973 Hurst Olds

First off, this tire is date coded May 1973, so it is to old to safely drive on. A vintage NOS B.F. Goodrich Radial T/A. The ultimate high performance tire in 1973. 6 ply Rayon tread, 2 ply Rayon sidewall. Tire size GR60-15. Possibly correct for the 1973 Hurst Olds, or the 1973 Corvette, or the '73 Z-28, or the '73 Pontiac Trans-Am. This would look nice in the trunk of a 1973 Hurst show car. PM me if interested.

Nice tire but the 73 H/O used a G-60-14. Not a 15.

I'm not sure any of the cars you listed had GR60-15 tires as original or optional equipment. The brochure doesn't mention the size (wheel or tire) but IIRC those are/were 14".

Were there any cars that came stock with BFG radials.

I was thinking that the 15X7 rally wheel was optional on the 1973 A body cars. Found out it was 1974 when first available.
