Default Went for the day two look

The weather was finally nice enough today to get outside. I decided to take the bias ply Polyglas tires off the Silver Z and put on the Torque Thrust D's with the radials. Not sure I like it but is growing on me. The car sure does ride better. Those old bias ply tires were not only hard as a rock but heavy as lead too.

Understand 100% why people run radials but can't beat the bias ply &quot;LOOK&quot;..I'll take the harsher ride.

Really hard to tell from the pictures, but it looks like those Radial T/As might be the old late-80s version, or are they new production?

If they are old, then I wouldn't drive very far on them, regardless of how they look. Too many have had tread delamination issues with radial T/As that are more than 10 years old.

I've got a 70 Trans Am that has the Polyglas tires and it is not fun to drive. I'm thinking about the same thing Torq Thrust wheels and blackwall radials. A clean day two look.
