Re: [AMC-list] AMC Polysteel Radial tires

["Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi & yes, Goodyear Polysteel Radial D78X14 tires were optional on several packages of AMCs, including Gremlin X in 1975 for 
instance. Usually part of the "X" packages for Gremlin, Hornet, Matador & Pacer Series. You could get them on regular steel rims or 
AMC's new slot dish aluminum hubcaps. The "X" package for Gremlin & Hornet was $201; for Matador $199 and Pacer $339.

On the car you mention with NOS Polyglass tires, that is a excellent point, those tires alone should be worth $1500-$2000. What I 
would do with them is mount them, and when trailer a AMC to show, install them at the meet then display, then uninstall them & put 
back in trailer, putting regular or aftermarket rims/tires on the show car. Sort of like what some of you racers do with slicks!
