I have a set on each of my 3 cars (thanks Rusty) and love the look. While they don't handle like a radial and wander on bad pavement nothing beats the sound of a bias ply when doing a burn out.

They look fabulous with the Magnum 500 road wheels. That's the look I'm going for. What size are your tires in front and back?

Not sure what the size is in today's numbers. Rusty is on here quite often, maybe he can chime in and answer. I looked and there is no size on the tire other than the F60

F60-15s are roughly equivalent to 235/60/15

Excellent! Would it be possible to calculate what the rough equivalent to 275/60/15 would be in a polyglas GT tire size?

I speak with Kelsey on a regular basis. As far as a Radial version, it does not look like this in the cards. Kelsey has always prided himself on being the most accurate reproduction available.

We do have some reproduction radials available. Feel free to contact me anytime with any questions. 816-654-3400.

As for pricing, I will be happy to share.. get with me!!

I've been waiting to replace my original GY's with repops. The originals ride really rough. Hopefully I can swing them for this season.

Joe- once it warms up and the salt is gone, come down and take the '71 GTX for a spin, or the '70 Bee. Both have the correct sized Polys that I bought from Jim a couple of years ago. As RJS and others mentioned, they do track ruts a bit, but a minor annoyance to deal with, the looks are KILLER! I just don't like the look of radial tires on vintage musclecars.

Hi Joe,

I drive Polys since 20 years on several 1970 B-Bodys.
It is important that they are new.
They are excellent the first 5-6 years when new. Very soft, great grip, too.
After 5-6 years you can slightly start to notice that they get harder. After 10 years they are hard and not nice to ride in rain anymore.

I have driven several sets from new to thrown away after 15 years.
In total I drive my cars usually 10-15.000 Kilometers within a year on Polys.

Front tires can last up to 20.000 Kilometers if the front end isn't worn out or missaligned. Rear tires hold depending on your right foot.

Carsten
