Re: IML: Radial vs Bias Ply Alignment Specs



When I was in Auto Tech courses a million years ago, the instructor told us that if we switched from bias-ply to radials, we needed to change the shock absorber too. Different rebound rates for different tyres.

Radials also have a more flexible side wall than bias ply tires, which undoubtedly changes handling and thus alignment

Alignment is not only for tire wear, but also proper handling. My
understanding is that the slight adjustment compensates for the difference
in the profile and foot print of the tire.
