Could you ever buy Type 3s brand new off the lot with radial tires?

An experienced person recently told me that no VWs came new with radials
until 1979 or so. This seems very unlikely to me.


I thought it was a dealer option from 1968 or so.

I just looked at the sales program booklets for German dealers and they seem to start listing radial tire factory options starting for the 1968 model year, as M173 (Radial tires instead of standard tires). In later years there were several radial options available.
