Re: [FWDLK] Bias or Steel belted, white wall size for '59?

["Hoover" <Hoover@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sartana,

This is area that brings some pretty emotional debate. Radials
provide the best ride and do not catch road grooves like
bias. That said I prefer Bias. The side profile creates a more
authentic side wall original look without the "radial roll".

It is your choice and really personal preference.Enjoy!
