Wide Ovals/ Polyglass

Does any make a repro Polyglass GoodYear or Wide Oval Firestone but in a radial? I know they are made in Bias ply but it would be great if they reproduced them in a radial thread.

No, but I wish they would, I would buy a set or two. I think vintage lettering on a modern radial would be great. I contacted Kelsey Tire a few years ago about this, and their response was "B.F. Goodrich makes a nice white letter radial", well duh..no sh*t!

The Firestone Bias Ply G70x14 does not drive that badly when new, and it gets better traction than a radial tire. If you are going for a stock size 225X70X14 radial, consider the bias ply. If you want a good handling tire, a 15 inch rim and a 255X60X15 size works well. Around town the bias ply works well enough.

don't they make a Red Line Firestone Radial, I didn't think so but thought I saw one at a car show last week - it was getting dark so I couldn't see and when I asked the owner he said they were belted, though I haven't confirmed that and that still doesn't mean you want a redline. I don't always like the looks of those but it looked great against a black chevelle

Kelsey has redline bias plys.

As for radials, Kelsey has a line of Wide Whites, and just introduced-- 225/75/15 Polysteels that came out on the 78-81 Vettes, Trans Ams, and Z/28's.
