Just got a 1969 Toro in pa . look forward to learning here love the car 57000 original all stock with buckets and console says tr070 on black plate any help on the meaning. its a clean car seems to be base with some different options. but still stock .what are the nicest tires to get? these are bridgestone from 1999 any help is appreciated

That car looks pretty nice.

235/75R-15 is the size you'll be looking for. Whitewalls are hard to come by but Hancook makes a tire in the Optimo series that comes in that size with a 1" whitewall.

I bought them for my mom's '64 Galaxie 500 and they handle very well and look great.

It might be tough finding them but a little searching by the tire shop should be able to rustle up a set if they don't have them on hand.

If you can't find any whitewalls but really want them, you can get them from Diamondback. They will take any tire you want and vulcanize any size whitewall you want on the side. You cannot tell the difference between these and a tire that left the manufacturer with whitewalls. It's not some half assed process.

These tires are Yokahama radial truck tires with wide whitewalls. They're the best tires I've ever had on my Cadillac and look like bias ply tires.

Diamondback has the thin whitewalls that Olds used on the first cars, 66-67. I'm not sure if then continued that look through all Gen I cars or not. TR (trim) 070 doesn't seem to exist. 060 is black all vinyl bench seat, which seems like you might have that. The others have the Excella pattern on the seats (strato bench/bucket seats). Paint code is 69 (Platinum metallic) or 81 (flamingo silver metallic) and the black vinyl roof is code 2. Assuming those are original colors on the car. Possibly Deauville Grey metallic. Can't tell, just have to look at code.
