Default Re: Tires

This is an age old argument, but I TOTALLY don't get the "bias ply tires are horrible" stance. I had a 70 Chevelle SS 454 that I drove 13,000 miles, a 70 Chevelle SS 396 I drove 3,000-5,000 miles, and a 70 Yenko Deuce that I drove 2,000 miles with bias ply and NEVER had any problems. NONE. The cars handled perfectly with those tires, after all they were designed and engineered with bias ply tires.

Oh and by the way, it seems that BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires are one of the few RWL radials available now if days for 60s-80s muscle cars but they have been on back order for months now. Pretty frustrating if you need tires like I do.
