I put close to 200K miles on our old '69 Chevelle running mostly L60-15s on the rear and F60-15s on the front. I don't recall ever having steering problems. Alignment specs are different for the old belted tires and the radials. I do remember that the old belted tires never lasted more than 25K miles. Decent radials will give triple that. I have a set of the old Uniroyal F70-14 tires on SS wheels for pictures but see no reason to spend a couple of hundred dollars a piece for something that won't last.

Was it the rear tires that wouldn't last? I may know why............
Actually the fronts didn't last much longer than the rears. When I bought the '68 Firebird it had fat M/Ts all around. Front and back wore out in under 10K miles and zero traction to boot. To this day I could never make myself buy an M/T product. I think I know why the rears tended to wear out too. ;)
