General Altima’s Tires

What is the vehicle ?
And
Did you get the alignment issue fixed that ‘scalped’ the Cobra’s?
And
If the vehicle under discussion is a vintage A body and if the alignment issue was fixed by getting the car aligned to factory specifications. Modern radial tires will not be happy, the factory specifications were set around the bias ply tires of that era.

1968 Dart GT convertible. 215/70R14. I have had the steel wheels cold pressed to factory specs, the pitman arm and the idler arm replaced with a wheel alignment, all within the last 2 years or less. I had a vibration at 50 mph that was bothersome and was told by 2 different tire stores that the tires are scalped and can’t be balanced. Now, these guys are telling me I have a bad idler arm and they couldn’t do a front end alignment. If I had to throw a stink eye at any of this , it is these young guys at Belle Tire and these tires. I have had the car for 5 years and initially, the Cobras were fine.
