Susan:

 You are right that there were radials in use in the early sixties. A lot of
Italian cars came with Pirelli Cinturatos. Of course Michelin and Continental
also had very good radials. I can tell you from experience that they were not
very competitive, but people did race on them.

There is nothing wrong with Avons. Their 5.0/22x13 and 6.5/23x13 are both on
our approved tire list for production cars that they fit. We just don't see a
lot of them here.
