It’s a good radial at $100 less than the Polyglas.

Beautiful car by the way. Always liked the 67-73 birds. 69 being one of my favorites. If you could,,,the wide oval radial would look good,,,but they are pricey. If I could find bfg 235/70-14 new I'd buy those again . Going for the stockish look but radial ride also.

Thank you! 68s have always been my favorite Firebird and the 69 Trans Am always ranked as #1 on my list but I couldn't afford a real one. This is as close as I'll ever get. I agree that the wide oval would look good but they're the same price as the Polyglas and if I were to spend that money I'd go with the Polyglas The BFG are a good tire and $100 less saving me $400! They all look good and the BFG is a modern radial.
