OE tires for a '67 442

I have a '67 442 W-30 that I've been running H70-14 Goodyear Polyglas RWL tires on 14x6" SSIs for years. I know F70-14 "redline" tires were stock, but what were they originally - Goodyear / Firestone / other?

Anyone have an original spare in their trunk?

VIN# 338177m258924 built 02C (February 1967 3rd week)

Does my car look familiar to anyone? It was in northeast Ohio and/or northwest PA. It had a 12"-14" white "bumblebee" stripe around the rear at one time.

Judging by the paperwork that came with my 67 442, I believe it came with 7.75-14 U.S. Royal whitewall tires.

I think the F70-14 tires didn't show up till the 68 model year.

I spent some time rummaging thru the library at www.wildaboutcars.com and found the following: (if I'm reading this correctly)

33807 - 33817 - 33867 with W29 the STANDARD tire is code WY
translation:
(Cutlass Supreme Sport Coupe - Cutlass Supreme Holiday Coupe - Cutlass Supreme Holiday Convertible with "442" Performance Option)

code WY is Firestone (part # 3909671) or Goodyear (part # 3909673) ** F70 X 14 2 Ply (4 Ply rating) red wall nylon cord

&

33807 - 33817 - 33867 with W29 with N63 OPTION the tire is code XY
translation:
(Cutlass Supreme Sport Coupe - Cutlass Supreme Holiday Coupe - Cutlass Supreme Holiday Convertible with "442" Performance Option with "white stripe tire")


code XY is U.S.Royal (part # 3901717), Firestone (part # 3901716) or Goodyear (part # 3901718) ** 7.75 X 14 2 Ply (4 Ply rating) white wall nylon cord
