I love the looks of the original tires, but they are RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE!!!!

Noooooo...The four tires in the above picture only cost me $1393.38 shipped to my door

Polyglas aren't a luxury - they are a must...

On a proper resto anyway. Or, we can save a few pennies and slap on some Radial T/A's and

The Goodyears look GREAT! but ride like (@#$&). The T/A's ride SO MUCH nicer & at this point are pretty much accepted as next to OEM especially if your going to be doing any amount of driving out there in the CRAZY traffic today.

I respectfully disagree - The Polyglas ride great on all my cars and all my friends cars that have them.

The only ones that don't ride so great are the (40+ year old) original tires on a manual steering car on a rutty street.

Radial T/A's accepted as next to OEM? By who? At Barrett this year even a "non-anal" guy commented that nothing looks worse than slapping T/A's on a restored car.

I have to agree with Kidmopar,...I grew up driving on belted/ply tires, that's all "we" had,...when radials came out, most wanted nothing to do with them,..but as the belted tire went the way of the dinosaur, we were forced into radials,..early radials were too mushy compared to the old stiff sidewall belted/ply tires of the day,...but the radial evolved into a superior tire,....with the release of the Polyglas repro tires, one was soon reminded how these tires behaved on various road conditions!.....I remember the first set of F-60-15 Goodyear Polyglas repros I bolt-on around 2004, went for a ride in my Daytona,...then met up with a 69 Camaro out for a cruise, so of course a street race breaks out .....when I planted 3rd gear and the 6 pak came "on board"!.... broke traction and the rear end came around to the point that I was across both lanes sideways at full throttle ....left the Camaro in a cloud of rubber, won the race, but man those tires are stricly for show, even cheesy BFG's will out brake, out corner,out hook a set of Polyglas tires....I usually run Goodyear Eagle GT II's for "regular" driving of the toys, the Polyglas's only get bolted on for shows/pics

I just got some from Small Hurst and I figure it saved me 10% over buying them elsewhere. I got them within a few days of sending payment. It was a pleasure dealing with Rusty.

I think the RadialsT/A at one point were the only main stream tires available. I remember Goodyear stopped making the ST,for my AAR I could not find a replacement set with stagger except Radial T/A.
Now that situation has changed, but at a certain time for driver cars...

I have a question. Do you need tubes with the polyglass.
I remember Bias Ply on my duster, and It went thru alot of tubes cornering.
