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

About 5 years ago, my dad put a set of Radial TA's on his /6 because his 6 runs 14" wheels and those are even harder to find that 15" tires.
I drove the car after he put them on. I drove them again 3 years later when I got the car. They still drove like crap. I doubt they've reformulated the compound. Don't waste your money. I would rather have a period correct tire (ie, Pirelli CN 36, Vredestein Sprints, Michelin X or XWX) than waste it on those Radial T/As I can't speak to the other tire mentioned in the OP.. the "Advantage T/A" ? They could be better, but that doesn't make them great, or even good. |
