Re: Red line radial versus bias ply
As the replys indicate,it depends on how much you drive. My Chrysler 300F gets used a fair amount by myself and my wife. It has Coker Radials on it. I would not consider using bias ply on this car because of its weight. My 66 442 has Firestone 775 14,original look and size. I am the only one who drives it and that is not a lot,some cruise nights and some weekend exercise. I used to only put Bias ply on for shows,but I realized how little I was using some of my cars and left the bias plys on for the past two years. My 71 442's have original Uniroyal Tiger Paws and Original G70-14 Polyglass. If these cars were being used more than the 4-5 mile jaunt to cruise gatherings, I would purchase new repop bias ply. I will change over to radial for longer use only because of the fact my bias plys for these cars are NOS.
