[Chrysler300] Bias Tires and Longevity

[Ryan Hill <ryan_hillc300@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There has been a lot of talk, on and off this listserve, about radial tires and expiration dates, safety, and performance in the past couple of years. Out of curiosity, does anyone know if bias ply tires are any more durable in terms of age than a radial? 
 
I ask because I have a beautiful looking set of Uniroyal H78-14 on my 1965 300 that I bought for my first 300 back in 1987 or so. They have low milage but have been mounted on my cars while in storage since about 1990. I had not planned to drive very far on them, given they're 24 years old, but wonder if they deteriorate in the same manner radials do? How unsafe are they? 
 
My father pulled a classic boat around on some bias ply truck tires from the early 60's for the better part of 30 years without failure.
