The weather was finally nice enough today to get outside. I decided to take the bias ply Polyglas tires off the Silver Z and put on the Torque Thrust D's with the radials. Not sure I like it but is growing on me. The car sure does ride better. Those old bias ply tires were not only hard as a rock but heavy as lead too.

Understand 100% why people run radials but can't beat the bias ply "LOOK"..I'll take the harsher ride.

Really hard to tell from the pictures, but it looks like those Radial T/As might be the old late-80s version, or are they new production?
If they are old, then I wouldn't drive very far on them, regardless of how they look. Too many have had tread delamination issues with radial T/As that are more than 10 years old. |

Good call on the BFG Radial TA's. They are old but not late 80's. I think I got them in the mid 90's. I guess I should upgrade them? They have either been on one of my cars or stored in plastic in a cool dark environment.
