Bias plys are horrible. Squirley, squirmy, requiring a lot of attention at the wheel. Handling is more vague and the ride doesn't inspire much confidence. My 70 SS396 had radials, and oh what a difference.

Couldn't agree more. Unfortunately with my schedule I don't get a lot of opportunities to drive mine, but if I did there would probably be radials on it. With no power steering and a very stiff suspension you need to hang on the wheel with two hands if the pavement is even just a little bit uneven. Hey, I wanted the nostalgic look and feel so I live with it [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
