Geo88

Hello Everyone!

I have searched but did not find a good discussion on this topic. Sorry if I missed it.
I will soon purchase new tires for my 1950 88 and I'm not clear on the pros/cons of bias vs radial tires for this specific vehicle. I am however well aware of the advantages of radial tires generally, and deem the increased cost as worth it. I plan to purchase wide white walls.

Here is a little info about my car:
> 1950 Olds 88 4-door 40K miles.
> New brakes, shocks, springs.
> Front end, steering etc. are all nice and tight.
> Car is a driver - I will likely never have it judged, but do want the new tires to have the correct "look".
> Current tires are 760-15 bias on original rims and the car drives very well.

Assuming that I can find a WWW tire of same/similar tread width and overall diameter, why would I NOT buy radials?

Thanks in advance for the help!

George
