Default Re: Red line radial versus bias ply

Put a radial on the front right of the car, and a bias ply on the front left (ummm....don't drive it, this is a static demonstration ), then bounce on each fender. It's night and day. The radial acts like a cushion, the bias ply is hard as a rock. There's no sidewall flex at all with a bias ply.

Hey Mike, check out these non-flexing sidewalls...
