I have a 1966 Catalina H T that I purchased new in 1966.
I have read several articles concerning radial tires and older cars. It seems that safety experts feel that some of the older rims will not stand up to the stress of radial tires.
I am running radials at the present time with the stock rims. I would like some opinions this and when the stronger radial rims came into use.

steel rims from the 1960s were not the issue, usually 1940s or earlier.

I have had radials on all my big Pontiacs since 1975 and have NEVER had a problem.
