Default Re: Red line radial versus bias ply

I hear ya on the Bleche-White. What the heck is that stuff made out of anyway?

It does do a nice job on the redlines. I usually spray some Bleche-White onto a rag, then wipe the sidewalls. But I tell ya, you get some on your fingers (when it soaks through a towel), and the stuff feels weird, and it's hard to get off your fingertips even after a few scrubbings with Go-Jo.

My Firestones balanced nicely. But (and this is weird) when I switch between some BFG T/A's (14x7) and F70 redline Firestones (two sets of rally wheels, all balanced and done up nicely), the steering wheel is not centered, but the car still goes down the road straight! Don't know which set is the problem, I suspect the radials. Since I don't change very often, I simply unbolt the steering wheel and moved it a few notches. But it's weird because the car still goes down the road straight and does not pull with either set of wheels/tires on the car.
