1970 black 3 spoke "smooth" (hard plastic - cracks)
1971 black 3 spoke "pebble grain" (material like '72-'74 2-spoke - virtually indestructible)

I have at least one of each...

Here is a black smooth w/no cracks

Unless you have a height advantage. You'll like the Tuff Stuff wheel.
My wife is 5'. And adding the Tuff Stuff wheel was hands down the best thing I ever did to it. A year later we added a 6 way seat and it only made it even more enjoyable to drive for her.
If not for those 2 , she hated driving that car. To hard to see out of.
Plus the wheel diameter mixed with the rim thickness ( or should I saw the lack thereof ) she said made it feel like a driving a tank bus.

I tried a tuff wheel for several years, not my cup of tea, went with a restored rim blow, much nicer

I loved the Tuff wheel that I had in my AAR. It helped to tame the T/A fast ratio power steering.

Umm, wouldn't that be the other way around? The Tuff wheel is smaller diameter, therefore makes a steering ratio feel faster than a larger diameter in that the distance your hands travel is less.

I have a Tuff wheel with the fast ratio pitman arm (power steering) and it's great.

It makes sense what you are saying. I don't know , but I seemed to get a better feel for the road with the Tuff wheel in, over the larger wood grain wheel.

I would think the smaller wheel takes away leverage, less over compensating.
