Re: would ya'll stay with bias or go radial tires

Radial tires hold up better and perform better. There is a reason that bias-ply tires have virtually disappeared from the marketplace- it's a better product, with distinct advantages. That being said, vintage-style bias-ply tires are available. They are not cheap, they may have the improvements in material that modern manufacturing produces, but they're still the same old, short-lived, ill-handling anachronisms. Nostalgia is nice, but practical applications demand practical solutions. Coker Tire has probably the best and most extensive selection of vintage-style tires, for just about anything that rolls. Not cheap, but good.
