Re: [FWDLK] white wall tires

As Bob suggested, check out www.coker.com.  Radial vs. Bias - personally I
prefer Radial.  But I use both.  I have a set of WWW bias ply,  I put on my
car (59 Plymouth Sport Fury) for car shows. , and a set of modern radial
whitewalls I use for normal driving (put 4800 miles on car this past summer
and enjoyed every mile).  I have an extra set of rims (thanks to my parts
car) so it makes changing them fairly simple.  But as Coker says in their
catalog - "Radial Advantages" better mileage - SMOOTHER RIDE - All weather
tread - BETTER HANDLING.  Bias Advantages are - Authentic for show cars -
wider whitewalls available - and less $ than radials. WWW Radials from Coker
for my car cost $142 each, and www bias cost $75., so the cost difference is
significant.     John Z in Mosinee, WI
