Why cant they make a radial tire that looks like a bias.I mean most radials are M/S tread design.I dont plan on driving in the mud or snow so a tread pattern that looks like the old bias plys would be just as good right?




Because after the design and new tooling was done, they would cost over $1,000 since it would be for such a small market.

The original BFG T/A's had a square look to them that looked sort of like a belted tire, all they needed was Badyear Polyglas GT lettering on them.
