<VV> Bias Plys

For those of you who think bias ply tires are unsafe, many racers race on 
them, many of us drove hundreds of thousands of miles on them, etc.. without 
issues. I have raced in about 40-50 events over nine years using bias ply 
tires without any tire problems. I agree radial tires are better, but bias 
ply unsafe? C'mon.

  Smitty Says:  I didn't stutter when I said unsafe.  No put down of Earlies but I can tell you this.  You don't want to be driving one on bias plys and have to make a quick lane change transition in an emegrency.  And please don't bring racing tires into this.  They have no relationship to the street tires we are talking about.
