tire decision

i am getting ready to bust out and buy my white walls but i am stuck deciding which ones, i have narrowed it down to two which are, Coker 205 75 14" or Coker F78-14 bias . i know the radials are the better of the two, but i dont have any experience with bias tires

Re: tire decision

i have 14x6 steel wheels and i think the F78-14 which is equal to 205-75-14 would look ok. what size wheels and tires do you have ?

Re: tire decision

Bias ply has a stiffer side wall and gives a little harsher ride, more push in a hard corner but will carry more weight all thing being equal. Radials ride better corner better but I don't think you can get a radial to look like a bias ply in the same dimensions.
