Re: Radial tires on old rims
Radial tires made a huge improvement in ride and handling on my '35 fordor sedan when I replaced the bias ply tires back in 2007. I would never consider going back to bias ply. I build my cars as presentable drivers, and could care less about having a high point show car. So, appearance of radial vs. bias means nothing to me, however, my Diamondback smoothed side wall/black wall radial tires look as good as any bias ply tires that I've ever seen. I also have a complete set of Coker www radial tires, and plan to purchase a set of Coker Excelsior BW radial tires for a '35 coupe I'm slowly reassembling.
