Default Re: Red line radial versus bias ply

I ran radials on my car for 8 years and put over 20000 miles on the car doing it. I now have the Polyglas on the car and I would not change it for the world!!!! Just like grapping the thin steering wheel, it is an attention getter! Our cars were all developed and designed with Bias ply in mind. I understand that radials might have better road manners, but I will tell you that the Polys today still have to live up to DOT testing that is far beyond you and I normally push out cars. I have a good friend that is putting more Polyglas on his car after he wore out a set driving across the country and visiting several drag strips. He and his family drove there '69 Hurst/Olds from Chicago to the Grand Canyon without so much as a hiccup! Do what you want, but I still believe that the Biasplys will do very well with what you want to do!!!
