Henry,

Good deal on those tires. I'm glad you're going with bias ply. I know some won't agree, but you've just been such a purist so far on this project, the correct tires are a nice touch. Besides, when these cars were new and for many years afterward, they had nothing on them but bias. That's the only tire I've ever had under the TL Packards I've driven, so I can't comment on any improvements with radials, but they sure handled nice with good 4-ply bias tires.

I'm not trying to start a controversy here, just sayin' I'm pleased with your choice.
