Default Re: What's with Radial TA's?

Correct me if I am wrong but the first design T/A's were a little more square and the lettering looked more like the other Tires from that era???? I think I remember the old style and they looked good on muscle cars

And I would rather have the T/A's then the Daytona radials

These T/A's were some of the first tread designs from the mid '70's. The bias ply Goodyear tires look great but these T/A's worked well if you wanted to go around corners.
I think they look good, for radials

Yup, I noticed that early tread design on the Z in your other post. I was looking/expecting that tread design on the Coker site. I know of a '74 Z that still has those. -Well, in the front. As mentioned, it mainly comes down to the look (clean sidewall) and the size options.
