Curious if anyone has tried any of these in 196/60R15, 195/65R15, or 205/60R15?

Advantage T/A Sport (up to 130 mph)

Old-school Radial T/A (up to 112 mph)

COMP T/A's are not what the OP posted. COMP T/A's were great back in their day.

imho, Radial T/A's would be expected to be seen in the 1980's on a kids "restored" 1960s Camaro or Mustang. Sitting on a set of Cragar chromed 5-spoke rims (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Loved the Comp T/A 3 that I used to run on my 914...too bad that's no more. Probably one of the best tires I ever used on the car.

As for the Radial T/A...that's my perception too. I am now wondering if the modern reality is different, and possibly even appealing. Maybe flip the white letters inward and call it a day?
