Re: IML: Tire expiration ?Radial vs. Bias Ply

[Crestonave@xxxxxxx]

 

My Imperials do the best all around with high quality radial tires.

OK so I admit to being mechanically challenged. I just drive 'em, not fix 'em. I own two Chryslers: a 1968 Imperial Convert and a 1960 New Yorker coupe. Both cars have bias ply tires on them. I have a very competent mechanic who services these cars and I seem to recall him saying some time ago that he would have to adjust camber, caster, toe in before he could put radials on the car. Based on the discussions I've read on this list recently, it seems to me that you guys are saying that one could just take off the bias ply tires and put on steel belted radials and the cars would be very drive able with no other adjustments necessary.

 

Am I correctly interpreting the conversations?

 

Thanks
