Having worked for an auto company in a development capacity, I feel I should add a comment about radials vs bias ply tires. Radials are stiffer fore-aft and therefore will transmit more impacts from road irregularities to the suspension in a fore-aft direction. If you have a vehicle which does not have much fore-aft compliance (rubber in other words) in the suspension, you are bound to feel impacts more wiht radials. Radials are also much much stiffer in the rotational direction viewed from the top, i.e., steering, so you will not have to turn the steering wheel as far to go around a corner as you would with a bais ply tire. One final comment: One set of F******** tires I had on an Oldmobile in the 1970s actually had the tread come so loose so you could see the wiggle in the tread on a couple of the tires. This was when lots of tire companies were starting to use different cords - steel and other plastics, and did not initially get good bonding. So those of you who had treads come loose were victims of this learning curve and, in my opinion, had nothing to do with whether the tires were radial or bias ply.

Jim G,
Interesting info.
As mentioned, I've had my Coker wide white radials for ten years. However I've only put about 3000 miles on them. No problems.
What I'm wondering is this: has anybody had Coker wide whites long enough and put more miles on them so that they experienced treads coming loose?? Or any other major problems.....
Bill.
