Bias Ply tires vs radials on the street?

[Supercar_Kid]

A radial looks about as much like a bias ply as a hubcap looks like a wheel. Sure radials give a better ride, but so would a tube chassis and coil overs. Musclecars were designed to run on bias plys and they work just fine. I've driven thousands of miles on a 35 year old NOS set of Firestone wide ovals and they handle like they should. The fresh American made repros are even better with no worries about cracking, dry rot, etc. For me it comes down to era correct looks, you wouldn't wear bell bottoms with reeboks, then why put radials on your musclecar? Also, you just can't duplicate the squall of an old bias ply gettin' lit up. Bias plys are the ONLY way to fly. I'm sure many will disagree, but just my 2 cents.
