Hello fellow members
I was wondering what your over all opinions were on using Radial Tires over Bias Ply tires? Yes I know that the bias ply tires will look better but the radials will make the car perform better. I have even heard of people driving on radial tires and when they go to competitions they switch over to the bias ply tires. What are your thoughts??

Sean, what year Packard do you have? How many miles do you usually drive it in a year? What speeds do you usually travel? Do you drive on freeways and interstates or surface streets and secondary roads? Are you concerned about the authentic look and show judging? How much can you afford to pay?
I have Diamond Back radial tires on my 115C. They are probably overkill for the kind of driving I do with this car. Never the less, I have been quite pleased with their performance and appearance.
Would I recommend them to someone else, probably, but it would depend on answers to my questions. Like others have said: In the end the decision is your to make. Good luck.
