I am so gay for radials

Nope, if you look at the Touring when i had it there were recap radials on the back. The 54 has radials. To me a consumable like tires has nothing to do with blasting down the road traditionally

. If I wanted to roll around town and posture I would have some bias plys, in fact, go read the Rollin Bones guys experiences. They said **** Coker for real world running and keep the bias plys at home when they travel.

 

Can someone please shoot me a PM when we get back to "radials ****" status here on the HAMB? Just so I know its safe to log back in? Perhaps Ryan should consider proclaiming a HAMB state of disaster until that time comes?

 

Thats funny Crease.......how about T5's? I'm pretty trad since I am running the older T4

 

Is Ryan still running radial recaps on the back of the 38?

 

Traditional in hotrodding is like trad-style rock climbing. There is a bit of a sliding boundries to both with the exception of a few hard core die hards. And I commend them that stick to, in our case, an exact date and style. I also shoot flintlock, to me, a percussion gun is a modern piece. *** for tat.

 

But arent radials kinda like fat girls and scooters?

I understand where you're comin from, but tires are just the beginning of inconvenience and lack of comfort. With a wife and 2 kids that have come to love this stuff too, I came to similar conclusions. Rather than neuter my hot rod, I decided to build a custom. It will have AC, power brakes and one single wimpy carb, but it will all be under a hood. It will even have radials and windshield wipers. So apparently my car is just as gay, but me and the 51 still in the closet.

 

Tires all look round when they're rolling.
If you dig having some fat stripper snail-track your paint for an OSR photo shoot, go for the bias. If you actually drive your ride, it's radials.
And yeah, I think it looks meatier with the blackwalls.

 

HA! Yep, right there with ya, Im running the old school TH350, but I still don't own a scooter!

 

Well said!

 

are you saying that your gay? ok but I don't really need to know that. T.M.I.

 

Bwhahaha, man Im staring 40 in the face. I think I can identify with this statement.

 

bambi dont know the differance either!

 

There is no doubt that bias plies look the part. There is also a reason why we ditched them as soon a good radials were available at an affordable price. I've driven plenty of both. I drive my hot rods, I will have radials!!

 

Yes, but I feel more Hawkeye with the flinter.

 

its called being "Swayze Crazy".... Patrick is dreamy.

 

Simple. Run radials for traveling quickly and safely. When you arrive, install the worn out bias plies to placate the Flat Earth Society members.

Talk about mul***asking, some of you guys are a weird combo of hot rodder and Ludite.

 

^^^^^ Might have known you two would "contribute"!

 

This is probably the weirdest thread I've seen here....so far, anyway!

 

since your a swayze AND a road house fan (which I am too)

remember, "pain dont hurt" ... now go get some bias ply tires and take the ride, its worth the looks

 

count to three and you'll forget you ever read this thread

 

It's not the type of tire you run that makes the difference. You're just GAY! xo, xo D

 

if you move to Idaho,you can marry those tires legally .

 

Ah, the casual literary reference, so missing in our world today. I had a heck of a time getting through that book, love the subject matter, just couldn't get my head around the writing.

 

Nice ride, no matter what tires you have...but if you drive it 10K a year it's better to be comfortable. I ride on radials and get **** once in a while but my rod drives better on the freeway which makes me feel a bit safer, and I paid for mine!

 

So im taking it that you like the feel of rubber?? Haha, just joking man, really clean car you have there, what kind of top you running?

 

had to use Hawkeye, nobody would have known if I said Natty Bumpo!

 

i could gone the rest of my life without seeing that, where is that mind eraser?

 

...true!!
