Radial tires that look like bias plys - yes really!

This isn't "news" check these posts, you just have to do a search and want the look on your car.
Also you can grind or sand down the lettering to fool people.
Those tire do look a bit off at certain angles.

Yeah Nankang, or Nanco, or whatever. those are the same ones. But $160 for two tires is about double what my buddy paid at the farm tire shop.

 

they just look like radials to me

 

I put the coker raidials on a car. The ride was nice the car turned on a dime but the F-R's look low on air all the time. Just like all new tires look. If you want the look I think you got to run Bias plys

 

How well would they handle a bit of a beating, say the fronts on a gasser?

 

Look like Akuret 7:50-16 to me. I put Akuret 6:50-16 on my 36PU, they work nice, cost under $60 ea.
