I think its all a matter of taste and your goal. If you are into competing in a high level judged event, then you need to get a set of appropriate repops. I have two cars with orig tires, and i don't feel that comfortable driving the darn things, I usually end up with white knuckles and feel every rut in the road. Also being 38 years old and deteriorating adds to a real driving experience.
I drive all my cars and have several sets of TA radials which I interchange. This tire has always performed well and is the accepted standard for the muscle car market. Decent look (yes i agree an original bias ply looks better) great performance, have a size for most applications and reasonably priced...Whats not to like! ![]()

It would be nice if they dug out the old mold and spun them again...

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 ![]() [/ QUOTE ] 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 ![]() ![]() |

I was running T/A 50's on my '70 Z in the late '70's, notice the worn edge on the front tires from hooking it around corners..
![]() I loved this car! ![]() |

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.

I will except a musclecar even with white walls. BUT, nothing looks better to me than a car with the original style skinnies. The cars just look right with these tires.
I installed some original style tires on my Z and absolutely love them. The car sits good and drives great!

Cool pictures. I run them on my 67 Camaro. They are inexpensive, look good, and have good ride quality.
