    Wow...a real hollyweird movie....yippee...... Oh well, the special effects dudes should be able to make that roadster work really good on bias tires....Maybe a match race up Mulholland with a Lambo???? Or maybe a chase scene like Bullit? If filming in Frisco isn't in the budget, could always substitute the speed bumps in the Wal Mart parking lot!!!!!!

    You have to be period correct if the film is set in 1955, so bias plys are a must. But it would be a good idea to keep the wheels with radials so you can bolt them back on if you wish. I would think of the bias ply tires as a kind of costume for you highboy. Costumes don't work as well as real clothes, but they are a necessary evil. You will quickly adjust to driving your car with bias plys.
