this is interesting to me. probably partly because it sounds like maybe i don’t need to spend a bunch of money on new front tires just yet. the tires appear to be in nearly new condition. no cracking of any kind, and barely worn tread. i’ll try to look up the date code and figure out how old they are.
if the primary difference is a “slightly different steering feel” from bias ply than i think i’ll be fine.
the only bias ply truck i’ve driven is an old f350 flatbed that’s so rough it’s nickname is the “sloppy jelopy”. there’s no way this will steer worse than that thing even with radials. i’ll probably swap these for bias ply when these start showing some age and then need to relearn that steering feel.
