Ask yourself - How often have I swerved violently to avoid something, or cornered 'on the door-handles'? In the early days I used tubes in radials on a '59 Bug , but then the fitters said it wasn't necessary so I stopped, and I haven't had problems running tubeless radials, but I've not had to test them violently. Maybe an emergency isn't a time to find out, but meanwhile, running bias ply might be even more dangerous. ;-) Dave.
