    Greetings,

    Wondering how much of disappointment it would be (from a driving/handling perspective) putting repro Blue Dots on 5025 vs. the radials I have on the car now?

    Would it be night and day (like the time I put repro dual redlines on a 66 K-code vs. the radials I had on it)?

    I'm thinking the contrast wouldn't be quite as stark because of the fact the Blue Dot was one of the most advanced racing tires on the planet at that time (vs. the bicycle tire redlines that the K-codes got)--or am I wrong--and would I still be greatly disappointed in the end; and are the repro Blue Dots therefore only good for shows?

    Best regards,

    Neil

    I have Blue Dots on 5S275 and like to look at them. As far as driving
    they are okay but nothing like radials. Personally, I drive my car occasionally
    and have never had any issues. Racing or hard driving, never.
