Default Re: Red line radial versus bias ply

[ QUOTE ]
Driving a muscle car with radials is like ------- with a condom on. You just don't get the full experience! Lewd analogies aside, I drove/raced my 70 LS5 Chevelle for 13,000 with Wide Ovals, my Yenko Deuce for about 2000-3000 miles also with Wide Ovals, and my 70 396 Chevelle for also about 3,000-4000 miles with Goodyear bias plys. NEVER had a problem. The car was engineered to have bias ply tires so that is the way it should be driven. People who say otherwise must not be truly driving the car the way it should be. If you want a nice smooth ride, then drive a Lexus.

If that's truly the case doesn't that throw the whole "day 2" (tires, carbs, traction bars, valve covers with breathers and etc) concept out the window? Those mods and more deviated from how the car was originally engineered.
