Re: Getting new tires on a 34

I have no problem running repro bias ply tires on my car. In fact, when Gene Tereshawty drove it, he said it was the finest 1940 Packard he'd ever driven. I drove it 2,000 miles last September and never once wished I had better tires.
The one limiting factor, though, is that it doesn't matter how good your brakes are, the bias ply tires will not stop the car in emergency situations nearly as well as with radials.
