Could it also be that the T/A's have been around for such a long time that they seem period-correct? My recollection (not warranted to be accurate) is that the performance tires of the late 60's and early 70's were the Goodyear Polyglas and the Firestone Wide O-val. I think the T/A's came along shortly thereafter and were represented to be a performance upgrade over the other 2. The Uniroyal Tiger Paw was introduced in there somewhere, too. Any tire historians out there?
