Re: Radial or Bias Ply Tires???

Keep in mind, I don't go to shows and judged events. I drive my cars, and radial tires make a BIG difference. My '52 Mayfair had bias plys on it when it was purchased and it actually jumped from side to side. Without any suspension changes, the radials made this car driveable...you don't even need to hold the steering wheel now and it goes so straight as an arrow. My '41 Clipper is now fitted with Diamondback WW radials too, and they actually look like the old bias plys. My grandkids travel in my old cars with me quite often and I consider radial tires as safety equipment...like seat belts!
