My BF Goodrich Radial T/A 225 70 R14 tires will be 10 years old this year on my 71 Mach1.
I have original Ford Motor Company Hub Caps with silver rings. Not thinking about changing wheels.
I drive the car around 350 miles a year. Mainly to charity car shows.
Look good with good price.
I know this is a personal opinion and that is what I want.

The car sounds like an original or restoration. I see no reason not to stick with the same tires...the BFGs are pretty much a standard, imo. I believe that model had Goodyear Polyglas F70-14s as OEM. Those are available, but are quite expensive and do not have the stance of the BFG. Happy Hunting.

Thanks for the opinions.
Pretty much original except the 302 was replaced with a 351 W. I also had AC replaced with new vintage air.
I was debating between the BFG Radial T/A or the Cooper Cobra Radial GT $100 cheaper for 4.
Cooper is overall rated slightly higher but the BFG are rated a little better ride and appear larger.

You are right I looked up new original tires and wow they cost more than double per tire.
