My wife has a CJ-5 with manual steering and radial tires, you can drive it down the interstate at 70 mph with one finger on the steering wheel.

In 1969 I drove from the dodge dealer to the Goodyear store and replaced the Firestone 2 ply "Wide Ovals" for 4 ply raised letter Polyglas tires for $8 a tire. Had an earlier bad experience with firestones.... short time later rear tire picked up a nail and was sitting in driveway flat. Put spare on (one of the firestones) went blasting down the road about 80 mph to tire store. Sudden bang and the car went sideways- out of control- and into a field. The firestone had come apart = tread came off side wall completely. Went to firestone store and they refused to replace tire- said I had run it flat... I went to the Goodyear Store and paid to get a new Polyglas. The manager said to go back to firestone and say they wanted the tire to put on display in their showroom... Got the cost of my new Goodyear refunded- they kept tire, and gave me a good condition tire to use as spare.... Haven't bought a firestone since 1969
