my gto came originally with G70/14 which was around 26.8". The old BFG 235/70/14 were a good match to the G70 . They stopped making the 235 and only make the 225 now. I even contacted coker if they would make the 235 again and got a no. I put 225 on mine and to me they just looked too short and took them off. Im still running the 235's I put on from 1989 and though theres decent tread left Im getting new ones this spring. Going for the G70 wide oval radials from coker. Rubber does break down,,,I bought my car in 1986 and all the weather stripping looked good back then and my car is always garaged since then but now all the weather stripping has to be changed because its falling apart.

Coker makes a BFG 235/60 R14 that has a 25.10" diameter which will look good on a Firebird but probably too small on a GTO. It's close to 2" smaller than your 70s. The wide ovals will look good on your GTO.
This is what I'm looking at for $132...
