- 145-13 is closest to original and looks best on a stock car IMHO. Recently I've been thinking if I had an early car like you in original condition, I would go for the original bias-ply tires. I think

- It does do that. I had four rock-hard bias-ply 145-13's (whitewalls, yuck) on my '61 midget when I got it. The drifts were hysterically fun, made every corner feel like full-race. It didn't behave we

- Ulix Have you driven on bias ply tires lately? It's a wonder we are all still here! I had the opportunity to drive an old chevy a few weeks ago and it still had bias ply tires. What a mess!!! How soo

- I think there would be a BIG difference between old and new bias-ply tires. I bought an old 66 Caddy that had been sitting for a while and it had really old radials on it. I drove like described. Sca
