RE: Fw: Radials or bias? slicks

[Rich Kinsley <rlkinsley@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think there was a mention back when radials came out that if you must 
mix them put the radials on the front. I believe I did that with my 
first radials in the 70's and I didn't like the handling but I don't 
think it'd be a big deal in a straight line.
