Coker has some radial that look like bias, but you'd never run them on a muscle car.
Sammy is right, these bias tires were good enough for years. I bet today's reproduction tires are better than they were back then. I'm not sure why there seems to be so much apprehension. A wheel and tire change can really transform a car attitude. When I see cars running period tires and mag wheels- there is a real transformation in my mind. I find I'm not the only one who responds to those great looking square footprints. I think you'll enjoy the bias tires more than you realize. Here is one of my favorite Nova's rocking a great upsized tire selection. Somehow these Nova's look great with 14 or 15" wheels.

You guys got me thinking about some Firestone Wide Ovals on Cragar SS. |

Oh man, this would look killer on my Nova. The 15x7 Cragars I believe are 4.25 back spacing. I think that would fit well, my Nova has the factory 4 piston caliper discs. Man, that would stand the Nova up like old time muscle.

If you want to stand apart from the pack and go with a period-correct theme, make those wide ovals the 3/8" pinstripe whitewall version. Looks good depending on the car.
