Mark:

As one in the same situation, just remember that if you get a set of bias ply, you will also need four more steel wheels to mount them on. I don't think you will want to go to the local garage and have them switched every time you want to show the car (or maybe once a year is worth doing.) just a thought and an additional expense as you think through your options.

No problem there for me. My 1960 corvette is still being restored and will only wear the bias ply tires, at least for a few years while it is going through the flight judging process. I have a set of 1961-62 corvette wheels (smooth welded 15 x 5) that I could use if I need to mount up some radials.

Just for information, I took my Uniroyal spare to Discount Tire to have it removed so I could clean up the original wheel. They took it off. When I returned a week later, they said they could not install a tire over 10 years old, I found an independent to mount it. Dale
