I see that there are now Firestone Wide Oval radials that look just like the original bias ply tires from the late sixties and early seventies. Are there going to be Goodyear Polyglas radials with raised white letters and redlines coming soon?

Kelsey has always prided himself on producing the most accurate reproduction available. To that end, he is not going to produce something that never was. He is producing vintage era radials from the 70's and 80's in 15" sizes.
Give a call if you have questions. 816-654-3400. Thanks Rusty |

I have Kelsey built Goodyear Polyglas on almost every AMC I own and have put a lot of miles on them....they ride great and I have never had an issue. As far as performance (traction), a very high percentage of the cars at the Pure Stock Drags are running!!! They are not your Grandfathers belted tires....original molds, but modern rubber and DOT approved.......

I was just curious. I always thought the Goodyear Polyglas design was the best looking and have had them on several cars I have owned. Also they were factory installed on many AMC's. It seemed like a interesting choice to be able to have the best of both worlds.

I agree. The recently released Firestone Wide Oval radials seem to have the best qualities of the original appearance and the ride and handling improvements that radials provide.
I'd love to have Goodyear Polyglas radials for my AMX but for now I'm making do with Diamond Back Michelins with redlines which are very good. I'm surprised about Ross's statement regarding the ride (and handling ??)of the new Polyglas tires. My experience with the original Polyglas on my AMX was that they were fair at best and terrible in the rain. When I went to my first set of Good Year radials, back in the 70's, the improvement in ride and handling was enormous. Later switching over to Michelin X radials, FR70 x14, from the Good Year radials was an equally dramatic improvement. With all these tires costing in the $1000. or so range for a set of 4 it get's expensive to begin to experiment with different tires. I love the OEM look of the Good Year Polyglas and if they're as decent as Ross says then I'll likely put them on my 67 Ambasaador DPL when it's out of the body work stage. Otherwise it will probably be the BFG or Diamond Back radials with the thin white stripe in either the 205 or 215 x14 size. |
