repo Radial tires vs repo double bias tires on a 1960

[Valeria H.]

How many points are deducted for repo radial tires vs the point reduction for repo double bias? I know original tires are the preferred but 50 year old tires, are there any available that have been preserved?

The answer is in the "judging Reference Manual" Section 4, Standard Deduction GUIDELINES. These provide guidelines for minimum deductions for a number of different configurations. A proper Reproduction tire of correct size DIFFERING FROM THE ORIGINAL ONLY in having DOT federally required markings is 10% deduct. Note not all reproductions may be treated equally in this definition, and a search of the archives on this board should provide more information as to "most Correct" for your model year. Current OEM brand current replacement Radial tires 60% deduct (minimum)
