He means if the tires weren't raised white letters then looks wouldn't matter, performance would.

I don't think you can use 215/70R14 tires and performance in the same sentence.
I went through 2-sets of Radial TA's over the years, and I actually like the Cooper Cobras better.
I found that the TA's had poor traction on wet pavement. Although, I haven't driven the car in the rain yet with the Cooper Cobras.

I believe that, 215/75R14 tires rubbed on the inner fender liner on my 88 Cutlass Supreme Classic. Also 245/60R14 rubbed at full turn on that G body. I had BFG radial T/A's on my 88, P235/60R14 and 245/60R14 on the back with factory 14" x 6" aluminum rims, fit fine. I sure could spin them hard with my 403. I currently have 205/70R14 front and 225/70R14 BFG T/A tires on my 70S with 88's factory aluminum rims, they look awesome in my book. BFG's are much easier to get around here.
Ive got 235/60/15 coopera all around on my car. Love em. Grippy, quiet, do well in the rain and have a better all weather tread pattern with deeper grooves than the bfg.
I have 235 60 15's on a factory 15x7 rim with a 2 inch UMI drop spring with no issues.
Meaning, if the 1986 442 came with black wall tires it wouldn't make any difference to me.
Say what? I need some new skins and you're saying that BF Goodrich isn't making them anymore?
They are licensed out for Coker to have them made. They have a hell of a deal with Michelin, tires & memorabilia.
