Bias make it feel like your steering has more play in it than it actually does ( I dont need more than I have already!) My two cents worth. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 1,096 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 1,096 | I have been delighted with the change in driveability in my '40 since the change to radials. I had 700x15 and went to 750R16 on Landcruiser rims on the back and 700R15 on the original rims on the front. The rears are mud terrains , cause I need them where I go. The truck steers easier and tracks straighter and has less rolling resistance (better mpg)  | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 1,426 ODSS President | | ODSS President Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 1,426 | Get some popcorn as there are strong feelings on both sides... I'm a daily driver only vehicle, original rims with rubber as noted in signature, 45 K miles, no problems, highway speeds every day.
