Default Re: 600R16 vs. bias ply tires

I got sick of the rough ride my 4.50 x 21 tires were giving me so I scavenged four 15" wheels off a wrecked old Postal Jeep, mounted four 225 R75 15 Goodyear Wranglers on them, bolted two to the rear with no modification and mounted new front cast iron drums on the front hubs with longer studs and 1/4 inch wheel spacers and mounted the other two on the front! The Town Sedan now rides like a Caddy, handles like a Porsche and stops on a dime! I am exaggerating a bit, but the difference was like night and day! And the tires only cost $77 a piece! I will never go back to bias ply!
