Re: Radial or Bias Ply Tires???

Radial tyres made their debut ca. 1967. Radials were offered as OPTIONAL to already existing bias ply by new car manufaturers. That is to say that one could have a new car either way: bias OR radial.

SO, IF there is any truth to the so-called "Radial Tuned Suspension" then where is it in the service manuals or parts catalougs that indicate some different service procedure or parts for cars with radials or Bias ply???

I don't ever remeber seeing ANY service manual nor parts cataloug for Chevy, Buick, Opel indicating any special treatemnt or parts depending on tire configuration.
