Looking for the radial tires with a sidewall that looks most like a vintage bias ply. I want the old look with the new tire ride. Thanks

Diamond Back tires would be your best choice. They take big name brands and add the whitewall.

Coker makes a bias ply "look" radial tire.

Check out the Mastercraft brand (made in USA) at Summit Racing. Excellent tire and way less than Crokers or Diamondback

I guess I'm not good at searching. I looked all over the Summit site and the only bias ply look tires are Cokers. Can you provide a link?

Thanks for the help. Now that we have retired to Florida for a few years I plan to drive my cars regularly. So things like ride and handling are more important than original. But I still love the classic look.

Still don't see any bias ply Mastercraft replica radials. Like these Cokers which answer the question in the original post:

I am also interested in this bias-ply look radial. To my knowledge, the whitewall version is only available in C1 appropriate wide whitewall, not C2 correct narrow whitewall (although I suppose one could use the blackwall version on a C2). But I am curious to know how the bias look radial compares in ride quality to the conventional radial. It would seem to be somewhere between the real bias ply and the conventional radial insofar as the bias ply necessarily has a narrower tread footprint (less rubber contacting the road). Anyone here who has tried both and can offer comparisons? Thanks.
