I'm going with the diamond back red line radials on my next project. I've used both (bias ply and radials) on my chevelle and feel the radials are far superior for drivability. If you want originality, then go back to the wooden wheels we used on our wagons back in the wild west!

Well, I was talking about bouncing on the fender, and you'll see the bias ply sidewall does not flex verses the cushioning/flexing occurs with a radial. But the best thing is that we got a few cool pictures from this debate.

I've run my bias plies for a few months in the summer, and they're real teeth rattlers compared to the radials. As for ruts in the road, I've had the wheel yanked out of my hand a couple times when I've hit uneven pavement. Those spots in the road always seem to occur within the shadows of trees, you know?

Hey Rob
Kwool pictures there, post somemore if you got them. I won't be doing that with the Nova, however, there maybe a slight wrinkle in my wifes face when I tell her how much I paid for them I may have to get a picture of that. They should be here by the end of this week according to UPS tracking. Still gotta wait for the street sweeper to clean up the roads before I get it out though.

Don't mind the naysayers... you'll be fine, your car will look like it's supposed to, and i think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how your car drives with bias plies. Many here have put 1000's of trouble-free miles on them without any problems.
