Firestone Wide Ovals at Coker Tire would be one choice. And in the video that FormulaJones put up, it's about Coker Tires' radial tires that look like Firestone Wide Ovals, so those are radials.
Kelsey tire is another manufacturer of vintage tires, and have been reproducing Goodyear tires. They have the Polyglas, but they don't make it as a radial. They've been making Polysteel radials, but Polysteels weren't used until later in the 70's. Here's a link to their website and their Polyglas tires. http://www.kelseytire.com/pages/preformancetires2.html
Personally, I'd just get some Radial TA's and save some money  . |
My car is a 69 Firebird T/A tribute so I’m going after the original T/A look. I’ve looked at early ads and seen them with black walls. The early ad with the red ram air VI decals has white walls I think. But that wasn’t a production model, it was a promo model. I’m leaning towards BFGoodrich radial t/a’s from Coker. It’s a good radial at $100 less than the Polyglas.
