My 51 had bias ply tires when I got it and it handled like an aircraft carrier. It would steer very hard and the tires would squeal on curves. It was white knuckle time every time the road changed direction. The best thing I did was replace the bias ply tires with radials. New shocks didn't hurt handling either but the best thing was the tires. I can now steer with one arm on mountain roads. What a difference.

I am considering adding power steering though. It would make parking a lot easier. I'm not nearly as strong as I used to be.
