<VV> Tire question from a friend

[Jim Corey]

The following was clipped from an email I received from a fellow RVer.
He has given (entrusted?) his early model, which he's had since new, to
his kids.  Any responses that might help him?

My kids, who now have the car (it's a family hierloom) tell me that it 

is squirrelly to handle.  Both have driven the car before and feel that
it 

is more than just normal Corvair squirrellyness.  When I rehabed it, I
put 

radial tires on it.  Now, I'm thinking back to earlier days and seem to 

recall that I couldn't run radials on that car, had to use bias-plies,
to 

avoid control problems.  I notice that you have radials on both your 

cars.  I wonder if you have had any control issues and if not, did you 

select a certain type of radial? Or do the after market wheels have 

something to do with it.
