Re: [T3] Bias ply tires


StevenC=> Nice to see you're still running
=> bias ply tyres too.

Not to seem critical, but I've driven bias-ply tires on an old car
extensively. I understand the 'cool' factor in this, but I wouldn't do it
again, even with the most detailed stocker. You just can't do much driving
on them -- relative to modern tires, they're scary at speed. So for the
information of anyone thinking of going this far to create a period
restoration, just be prepared to keep it garaged except at parade time, and
stay off the freeway.
