[Chrysler300] Regarding Tires For My "F"

["Michael Reed" <mrreed@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to all of you who responded to my post regarding new tires 
for my "F". Much appreciated.

I have an order on hold with Coker for a new set of radisls, and was 
going to exercise the order today -- until.... I read an excellent 
article on the Imperial Club's Web site titled "Bias Ply versus 
Radial Tires: Which Are Best For The Imperial."

The article is composed of a large number of posts by club members 
on the various considerations, factors, etc. on deciding which type 
of tires to use on older cars. I'm now 99% convinced that, 
considering all of the factors, I will stay with bias-ply shoes for 
the "F". The major considerations:
- not wanting to drop the car about 2-1/2 inches lower.
- not wanting a harsher ride at low speed
- not wanting the extra wear and tear on the steering/suspension gear
- wanting a 1" - 1-1/4" whitewall width
