Re: BFG Radial TA's vs. GY Polyglas bias plys
 

The trick look of the 60s/70s GoodYears and Firestones was never questioned -- have to agree with the comment that a tire manufacture needs to take a modern radial design and make them look close to the 60s/70s rubber.

ooooooohhh so nice.... Hows the firestones do? What size are you running?

I sold the car but it was not horrible. and I do not recall the size. I don't think they make that style anymore so they may have been old. But as mentioned before the good years seem better than the firestones.

Guys,

Diamondback Radials is just starting to make exactly what we've all been waiting for! They make radial tires in the style of the old bias plys on only a few models right now. I think they are only for the Trifives that take the 6.70x15s, and a few others. I'm hoping more come for the Muscle Car crowd next. I'm building a 49 Chevy truck and they now make those bias ply style tires in radial form, so they are getting there. Factory bias ply look with the radial technology/handling. Not the redline/whitewall BFG look we all commonly see from Coker. Just wanted to pass that along and check their website for more info.

Cheers

That would be great. I know a zillion guys that are looking for just that. Modern radials for muscle cars with old school look of the Goodyear or Firestone with small white letters.

There is definitely a market ...

Re: BFG Radial TA's vs. GY Polyglas bias plys
 

----There definetly is a market, but even though I posted about a radial tire re-design, I still like bias-plys. I think its partly a function of age (on my part) and that elusive old-time feel that some of us old farts actually find entertaining. I know that when I dent the floor board with the throttle pedal I love the feel......Bill S

Re: BFG Radial TA's vs. GY Polyglas bias plys
 

Here's a twist for ya. How bout a set of old school radial T/A's form the early 70's with the small letters and square tire design like the bias. I have a few sets of those. 14-15 inches.
