Years ago when Bias Plys were far and away more in use than today, it was a no-no to mix them on a vehicle.
My back tires are worn, with one down to the cords. Looking to put radials on the rear, and keep the bias ply on the front. Okay to do this?
Or, was the mixing of Radials and Bias Plys no-no for just on the same axle?

Re: Mixing Radials and Bias Plys On A 69 D200
I did at one time (many moons ago) have 700-15 bias on the back and L-15 radials on the front of my truck. It worked ok. Definitely bad news to mix them on an axle.MOPARHOUND wrote:Years ago when Bias Plys were far and away more in use than today, it was a no-no to mix them on a vehicle.

Was mixing Radials and Bias Plys for just on the same axle? Or, was it for any position on the vehicle?
