Take a look at this thread:
https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=51656#forumpost51656 My personal preference is to go with what i know. I know that a PRODCUTION (not REproduction) tire will work. Radial or bias ply is not the issue for me. Each individual owner has different vintage automobile operation expectations from every other owner. I have no experience wit h the REprodcution radial vintage look alike tires therefore i do not know if they will or will not hold up well for 25K miles of mostly driving at 70+ mph on I'state hwy or cutting out thru the woods on a logging road or climbing a steep 1/2 mile rutted one lane road.
I do not know the price difference between the vintage look alike radials and the modern tire store regular production radials. Price always seems to be left out of arguments/debates/analysis among many topics.
Has anyone ran a set of ANY type or kind of REproduction tire for 25K miles under condtions i have listed above???? I'd like to know the results.
In the meanwhile, i have to go with what i know. It's a tire.
