BFG Radial TA's vs. GY Polyglas bias plys

[VintageMusclecar]

I took a set of Polyglas' (F70's and L60's) off of my `67 Chevelle and replaced them with BFG Radials on the front and M/T ET Street Radials (275/60/15) in the rear. It's definitely different, but not as much as I expected it to be.

Still can't beat the Goodyears for aesthetics. They'll be on another set of wheels for the car soon.

If you like radials, maybe consider a better look from goodyear, based on the later 70s early 80s type white letters show here. Probably a middle ground idea, if you don't want people to frown on your car because of the ugly BFGs.

You can never beat the look of the goodyear polyglass, getting ready to order L60s for the back of my cuda convert [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

One of my daydreams has been for someone to tool up Goodyear Eagle GT repro's but substitute Polyglas/Wide Tread GT style lettering on the sidewall instead of the OWL we had in the 80's. Those tires have a good square shouldered look (better than Eagle ST's in my opinion) and would look great and drive pretty well. 80's Eagle GT sizes would work fine, 215/70/14, 215/65/15, 255/60/15, etc. This can't be too hard to pull off, since other versions tires could be sold to all the 80's restorers as well.
