    So I am now driving on Bias Plys tires - here's the rundown

     



    Oh my bias plys tires, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways:

    1- my deuce steers better now

    2- my deuce looks 200% better now

    3- my deuce drives at 60 mph without ANY vibration (where as before, it felt like an earthquake was hitting Los Angeles again)

    4- I can see the groove on the freeway, but I sure can't FEEL the groves. You drive straight as an arrow my dears

    5- When I hit the brakes hard, you keep going straight

    6 - when I do a burnout, you keep going straight

    7- You are bigger and my rpm has now dropped when going at freeway speed

    8 - my gas mileage (and wallet) thank you.

    While driving around, just as aggressively as I ever did, I keep thinking that I am now on bias plys. I was expecting to be "all over the road" and crash into the first tree I passed, but you are handling oh so very well at the speed at which I drive. SO much so that I am not needing to change any of my driving habbits, if anything, I have been driving faster. Yes you are a bit rougher on the road, but not really all that much. Now and then, you drift a bit, but I let you do your "hunt and seek" and don't over compensate for it and my deuce stays straight. You remind me of how my dirt bike feels when I hit some soft dirt, and I like that feeling. You just have to go with it. I have notcied that while driving for a full hour, you may only "hunt and seek" twice for a few seconds. All in all you drive very straight.

    All in all I love you and I don't know why everyone is bad mouthing you so much, granted they probably drive a LOT FASTER than I do. So for me, you are right.

    I love you and I am never going back to radials.
