Picture of Polyglas tires on the CS

[390cs68rcode]

I had these tires mounted on Saturday and put them on the CS. I will probably use these on the CS and the CJ. I can confirm they leave DARK black marks when the throttle is pinned to the floor. :grin:

had to buy a new camera, mine finally crapped out.

So whats the deal with polyglas tires? Are they supposed to look retro?

repros of what was made back then. It was the performance tire of the day.

So are they radials made to look like polys?
Or are they really polyglass?

they are not radials. I assume they are modernized polyglass (whatever that is). You can tell they are not modern technology tires. When I drive on them I picture people back then driving on them and saying how good they ride. When radials came out people realized how bad they rode compared to radials.

That's what I thought (poly) but thought maybe there was a radial being done.

Curious to hear what you think after driving on them for awhile.

Here's an article on tires for classic Mustangs if anyone is interested:
