Default Re: Tires , radial vs. bias ply, for factory wheels
Hello, For a baseline, I have included a picture of the factory wheel/tire combo from a 1960 GMC 1002 Custom Wideside 1/2 ton truck. They appear to be Firestone Bias ply tires. Does anyone have any time in riding on these tires? I am also including a picture of the wheels I am running. They are 15 inch wheels. I am running Radial Whitewall right now. I believe they are contributing (at least somewhat) to excessive sway in curves. I wonder if I can lose the swaying without going to bias ply tires. I love the ride, till I have to turn, then its in Gods hands.
Have any of you guys had good service out of your tires? Let me know. Thanks, Greg Mead
