Has anyone tried these? While the tread pattern is ugly I’d be curious how they look on a car and how the ride was…

You got that right about the tread pattern. I think it would make your muscle car look like a lowered 4x4. :no::thumbsdown:

I saw those and the tread pattern scared me off. I don't understand why they would do that to a retro application tire.

Reminds me of european sports car tread. If they had just left it off the shoulder/sidewall, it might be tolerable, but as is...:eek:

Probably easier and cheaper to change a sidewall on a mold than the whole tread pattern. They may have used an existing tire and just changed the sides to "resemble" a classic retro.
