BFG's, Eagle ST's, whatever... they just look wrong. I have worn out several sets of bias repro tires on several different cars. I just finished putting together a set of Wide Tread GT's because my current set is worn out, and put over 27,000 miles on a '32 highboy with repop bias ply Firestone skinnies on it for every mile. Not just sissy sunny sunday afternoon stuff either.... The car has seen rain, snow, sleet, hail, and multiple 500+ mile trips at 55-75 mph... never a problem. My only gripe is they wear out faster than a radial, but if you have a weekend cruiser they're gonna last you YEARS even if they do only get about 12,000-15,000 miles of wear out of them if you don't want to run them to the cords. I'm just getting ready to mount up my 3rd set on the hot rod. I'd never consider putting radials on it or any old car.</div></div>

When I bought my 1970 LS6 Chevelle 5 years ago it came with the pathetic looking T/A's on the car, within 2 weeks I took them off and the Polyglas went on the car.
Again guys, just put your hand on the steering wheel and hang on as those Polyglas will take you anywhere. I love the ride and looks of Polyglas tires [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

P.S. &gt;&gt; I run a 1970 Chevelle SS club on Facebook and I will not allow a photo of a restored SS with Radial Tires in my club to be posted as I consider cars with Radials to be a Cosmetic Modification that does not finish a restored car off properly. Seems people like my format as I am closing in on 5000 members.
Sorry I just don't get it when a person restores there car to original but slaps on Radials YUK. I never will.
Also I love the MCACN show because it has tons of Polyglas tires on about 95% of the cars.
