I drove the car 140 miles round trip last Saturday. I try to drive it daily if the weather permits since I haven't made a top for it yet.

Having bias ply or a radial tire has nothing to do with the enjoyment of driving an old car.

In all reality, it's best that this car has bias ply tires on it since it can spin the tires in first and second. If the tires hooked up, I'd have already broken stuff.
I have not found this to be true. The best thing I did with my '51 is to swap the Firestone "re-pop" bias plies for the "Coker Classics".

I guess we have different uses and expectations for our respective cars.
