Red line radial versus bias ply

I would never put radials on an old car. I think it ruins the look and besides, I'm in it for an authentic experience. If I want to drive something with perfect handling and road manners I'll drive a newer car. I feel that the old vehicles and suspensions were designed to work best with the bias ply tires because that is all they had back then. I've experienced the tracking a few times, but once you drive on them enough it becomes a sensation you get used to and you expect to feel. I've never had a situation where the control of the car was put in jeopardy. We've been well over 100 with the G70-15 wide ovals in my dad's 68 Z24, and the car took on the road like a champ! I think we have about 13000 miles on the current set and they still look sweet. I just wish the red stripe was a little brighter.
