Thread: Why cant you mix bias ply and radial tires?

Tweet

Biggest problem I've found with radials on the front and bias on the rear is the front end will stick and the back end will get loose real easy. This problem gets to be about 10 times worse if there's a little bit of rain on the road. Hard braking can get to be down right scary!!!!!

Sask. laws allow radials rear, bias front, but not the other way around. I had a VW that had bias, put a radial (spare) on the back, and it tried to kill me the first time I took it over 20 mph! Absolutely uncontrollable. It felt like the back end was on caster wheels!
