To answer your basic question ("What was it like..."), in 1966 I was given a used (but still good) set of Michelin X tires (remember them?). I installed these in place of the original equipment Dunlop SP tires (1965 Mk1). I was amazed at the difference these
made in the overall enjoyment of the car. Handled better; rode better; better mileage; etc. etc. It was a revelation to a person who was still very early in his automotive journey.</div>

<div class="PlainText">I know it’s been a long time ago, but does anybody remember the difference between switching from bias ply to radial tires? It’s pretty much an academic question I know, because everybody’s running radials, but I was wondering what it
was like to drive a Sunbeam Tiger or Alpine on bias ply tires.<br>
