I see where they are now making a replica of the Firestone Wide-Oval in a radial that has the same sidewall and tread pattern as the old school bias tires. But you are still limited on sizes. Still, might be a good compromise for an original car that you actually want to drive.

Unfortunately you can still tell it's a radial tire from 30 feet away where the sidewall meets the tread pattern.
And the tread pattern has its differences from the Bias-ply too.
