Default Re: BFG Radial TA's vs. GY Polyglas bias plys

I would have to agree on the Bias plys being what these cars need. I have them on my A12 Bee, just put them on my 64 Corvette, and will be ordering them here shortly on my 70 T/A. Although these don't look overly bad, they just aren't correct. Every classic I had I ditched whatever radials were on there and went with the bias plys. There is no doubt the feel, quietness, and handling characteristics of radials are better than the older Bias plys, but as far as look and nostalgia? You can't beat it. Plus, it's not like you're taking flawless tires off and throwing on a set of Fred Flintstone concrete disks with wood hubs. The tires handle fine and ride nice. I'll be ordering my set of correct Bias from Rusty here shortly, but first I'm going to try my hand around an autocross with these radials before swapping them out. Why not? Might as well scuff those puppies up, Sam Posey style baby!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

So that's my opinion. You asked. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/whistle.gif[/img] Well, you didn't ask me in particular. But you did pose a question on the internet which means everyone posts their opinion, and I'm an everyone, so that's my opinion! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img]
