Last time I checked BFG T/A and Firestione 500 offered decent sizes in 15" radials. If you want a more vintage "hot rod" look, Jegs and Summit sell Mickey Thompson and Pro-Trac in the old bias ply sizes (N50 15 anybody?) /:\

Avons fit the bill,but would be nice to have something a bit cheaper

Since you are talking old school tires....does anyone sell something like the old Goodyears or Firestones with the huge solid white letters...they were radials...I could use 15 50's they had that old school cheesy look I want.....

Bats, BFG (T/A), Goodyear (Eagle GT II) and Firestone (Indy 500) do indeed still sell old school 15" RWL radials, but IIRC Goodyear doesn't do a 295/50R15, but from all accounts the Avons well out perform all of the above.

We run them in vintage trans am, they don't last a weekend on the track say they would be too short lived for street use, they are very soft compound.
