<VV> ????Re: tires, was: Rims

Perplexed Frank,

The original discussion was about tire size AND construction. You lopped off that first part, and I was still operating on it. I will say that you are right about bias plies (though you didn't specify them in what you said).

I may like the stock look, but I'm not against improving things that can't be seen. Especially on something that impacts safety, and radials do, to a large degree. So large, that IMHO non-radials (specifically bias ply tires) ought to be banned from being sold in the US. THAT would really get those snobby AACA folks. LOL

Mark,
    My comment concerned running BIAS vs RADIAL tires on a Corvair and had NO mention of tire SIZE so why am I wrong??

WRONG! The reason I still run 13's on all my Corvairs is because I really DO like the stock (standard) Monza and Corsa wheel covers. Now if you can put me onto a set of 14" wheels that will allow me to mount the stock 13" wheel cover, you've got a deal. (And yes, I know about what that one guy with the "Corvair-bodied" Jag did.)

Besides, who in their right
mind would run a bias ply on a Corvair?

Mark,
    Only those who think the Corvair was the epitome of perfection just as it came from the factory!!!
