Goodyear Wingfoots were the predecessor to the NCT which evolved into the Eagle GT...

I believe the Eagle ST evolved from the 78-81 OEM Polysteel Radial....very similar tread design....

I replaced the Polysteels on my 80 T/A in 1982 with a set of Wingfoots....

Very COOL and unique sidewall.................AND,they worked really well (the tires).

According to Herb Adams...they were the "best BANG for the buck" in the day.....

Yes, I think you're right on that! I forgot about the Polysteel tread pattern resembling the Eagle ST's.

And yes, great pics from the Baby Grand and Trans Am Series, Alvin!

Alvin, that's from the 1989 Pontiac Firebird brochure, which has the 20th Anniversary Turbo Trans Am on the cover. I still have a bunch of those brochures in mint condition.
