Hey all, just doing a little looking around and came across this article. A history of radial tires. Also some very interesting info on bias ply tires. I'm fascinated with things like this and thought some you guys might be as well. Just though I'd share. If it's been posted before, sorry. I searched the ***le but nothing came up. Enjoy Sorry link doesn't work, you'll have to cut and paste.
Good read. My old mans 1973 Marquis came factory with radials. He got sick of people telling him his tires were low on air real quick
maybe this one is "hot" http://web.archive.org/web/20071226...m/articles/magazine/it/2001/4/2001_4_28.shtml
