Can't compare today to what was sold in the 70's, but understand your sentiment. Anyone remember the Firestone 721's?You're to damn young to have a opinion @78C10BigTen Ted.....lol...I just go back to the 70s and remember the old bfg tires that had the belts that went to hell in very few miles......I lost 2 in 2 days and the 3rd one 6 days after that.....Maybe they are better now, I'll let you find out. Just know my Coopers are a good tire and WAY less money than the bfgs........AND always been a Pepsi fan NEVER coke!!!
Tire technology has changed completely. Have a couple vehicles with BFG's and 1 with Coopers. Purchased the Coopers because at the time they were much less. Really can't detect any difference.
I used to work in a shop that sold tires. The failure rate was exceedingly low, even in the "bargain" brands. In 10 years only remember a couple sets that had issues.
