Got a set of radial tires on the low buck 32 Fordor right now but I love the look of bias tires. The idea was to get it on the road with the radials and then maybe buy a set of 16" wheels and bias tires and swap them back and forth depending on what kind of driving I'm doing. But should I just buy a set of 15" bias and run em? The wheel sizes I have are 15x5.5 front and 15x7 rear. A lot of people say bias never really balance right in 16" but are the 15" any better? I'm kind of a nut about tires that don't balance right so I just wanted some input. Thanks in advance... -Ron
Bias tires just don't ride as smooth and it's just the way they are. They will actually balance up better than radials because they are heavier. I love bias tires, they look cool and it just smoke up better. But i'm old school.
I've had better luck with the 16's than 15's, honestly. Although, I just bought a pair of 15's for the front of my F1, I'll see how they run in a week or two...
