Default Re: Red line radial versus bias ply

I ran radials on my car for 8 years and put over 20000 miles on the car doing it. I now have the Polyglas on the car and I would not change it for the world!!!! Just like grapping the thin steering wheel, it is an attention getter! Our cars were all developed and designed with Bias ply in mind. I understand that radials might have better road manners, but I will tell you that the Polys today still have to live up to DOT testing that is far beyond you and I normally push out cars. I have a good friend that is putting more Polyglas on his car after he wore out a set driving across the country and visiting several drag strips. He and his family drove there '69 Hurst/Olds from Chicago to the Grand Canyon without so much as a hiccup! Do what you want, but I still believe that the Biasplys will do very well with what you want to do!!!

Radials ruin it for me. I see a car with radials and most times I keep walking. I agree with everything Camaro joe said. I have always run bias on my cars and would not have it any other way.

I really like the G60 15 polyglass goodyears on my camaro and mopar ebody, have no issues with them, they are just fun. I plan to put H60's on the back (very hard to find, but did, it should help even more). F70-14s should be a safe size on such a light car. Radials kill the looks of an old car for me, I keep walking too when I see them on a nice car. It's just wrong.
