Jeremey -- Crenwelge is old school and a wealth of knowledge (been there and done that, etc, etc). If he says it, you can believe it.
Anyway, so asking about mixing bias ply and radials reminds me of a sea story. There I was, helping a buddy get all his collection of trucks home from a local show. So I end up in the convoy driving a '70 IH 1-ton dump truck with a Model A pickup on a trailer. Only, the week before, one of the other guys had borrowed the dump truck, had a flat and hadn't told anyone yet that one of the front radials had been replaced with a bias ply spare...
Needless to say, going above 45 MPH was a hair raising experience and one that I don't care to re-investigate anytime soon. You can't imagine how close I came to turning two beautifully restored vintage vehicles (and a trailer) into a blood-spattered tangle of scrap metal.
Oh, nd I had no idea why the rig was so unmanageable until after when I mentioned it and the offender fessed up ... I almost came close to fisticuffs ...
