Goodyear switched from Speedway Wide Treads to Polyglas red stripes approximately April of '69.
Contact me if you have any questions about Goodyears.
Thanks to 6bbl for having the code info!

Not quite ..... The Polyglas was available (OPTIONAL) all year 383/440 (it was STANDARD on HEMI cars - F70X15 in size).
The STANDARD performance F70X14 "red stripe" across the board was a nylon cord tire (Super Bee, Road Runner, Charger R/T, GTX, Coronet R/T) for most cars this was the Goodyear "SPEEDWAY" sales code was T83. (This is the tire that lasted less than 20K miles & people about.)
OPTIONAL at NO-CHARGE was a performance F70X14 "white stripe" this was also a nylon cord tire (Super Bee, Road Runner, Charger R/T, GTX, Coronet R/T) for most cars this was the Goodyear "SPEEDWAY" sales code was T82. (This is another tire that lasted less than 20K miles & people about.)
OPTIONAL at $26.45 was a performance F70X14 "red stripe" this was the new to MOPAR fiberglass belted tire (Super Bee, Road Runner, Charger R/T, GTX, Coronet R/T) for ALL cars this was the Goodyear "POLYGLAS" sales code was T85. (Huge improvement in ride, grip, longevity. )
Firestone WIDE OVAL DELUXE CHAMPION nylon cord "red stripe" T83 & "white stripe" T82 tires have been found to be original on Hamtramck, MI assembled '69 Chargers. Charger is the only b-body assembled at Hamtramck in 1969.
* Reproduction "SPEEDWAY" tires are built fiberglass-belted just like the "POLYGLAS" tires ..... so no !!

I was going with information that Kelsey gave me. In '69, the Camero switched from the Speedway to Polyglas in April of '69.
In '68, Polyglas showed up on the '68 Hurst/Olds and the 68 1/2 Cobra Jet Mustang.
The F70-14Polyglas red stripe is available as well as the Speedway.
