In that decade Michelin introduced the radial-ply tire, which is now standard for all automobiles in developed countries.

load of crap. radial tires weren't 100% tubeless until metric ratings hit tires. i have tube load range C tires from a cj3 that were bought new in '83 and garage kept/religiously wiped with tire shine so they're crack-free
