They ran Bias ply tires back in the day because they didn't have radials. I would not put bias ply tires on anything that is going over 100 mph under any circumstances. JMO.

My Duster has drag radials on the rear so I put Michelin XZX radials on the front to match. They have the vintage front runner look with radial performance. IMO, they look similar to M/T Sportsman fronts with the rounded edges. These are 165/15 which are about 26" tall. Generally, they are VW or Euro sports car tires but work well as front runners. I think they are 'S' speed rated. Street driving is great with these. No problems over 110 at the track either.

Not so cheap but they are good tires. There are other options/brands for this type of tire that are less expensive.



I do like the bias ply look though. If I had an older car, I would probably run bias ply tires. To me '70-up cars lend themselves better to radials.
