bias plys & radials

[Dom87SS]

how many people are running bias plys and radials? i know i see a ton of people running them, but its not recommended u do so. im gonna be doin it, but have that little voice in the back of my head saying you really shouldn't be doing it....just kinda need some reassurance.

im gonna be ordering rims and tires this week. M/T sportsman 28/7.5r15 up front and M/T ET street radials 275/60r15 out back. they will be sitting on 15x4 and 15x8 weld pro stars. oh how i cant wait. ive wanted these rims since i bought my car, its been a long 7 years waiting

I run 26" sportsmans & 275-60-15 M/T radials & haven't had any problems. I'm suprised that M/T hasn't come out with a radial front tire though.

I run bias ply out back and radials up front. Did it both on the street and at the track with no issues. I don't have any friends that run M/T DR's out back who DON'T run sportsman fronts or DS2's.

Before swapping out the rears for some MT Et Street Radials, I ran ET Streets with radials out front. The car would sway a little on uneven pavement but besides that it wasn't a problem.

the radial has a much stiffer sidewall the a et street, even when compared to a stiff sidewall bias ply slick. i was thinkn also, i cant think of a fast DR car without a bias ply front tire, hell most people i know run this combo

i ran radials and bias plys last year, slicks on the rear, and never had any problems, the car would move around, but thats just the thin sidewalls of the slicks
