Now if they were to come out with a radial version of the Polyglas GT (F60 x 15),I'm sure alot of the 70-73 T/A owners would take a serious look at them.
As far as "judging & correct-ness" goes on Polysteel vs Uniroyal steel belted,I'd say that at this point,either one SHOULD be considered "correct",but I feel that Goodyear would be the choice of MOST T/A owners. JMO

I like how you think,I would definitely be up for either or on my 73,and would purchase them as soon as they were available .
I had the Uniroyals on the car in 04,but were worried about them going Al quida on the qtr panels,so I ditched them,shouda wouda couda ..I know
