Are Bias Plys Really That Bad?
In my search for tall skinny tires to go on the wheels I'm going to be getting soon, everything that is made now is bias ply and not radial. Being that I've only been driving since 2012, I've never had the joy of bias ply tires.
So, like the title says, are they really that bad? The ones I've been eyeing for a while are the Power King premium traction 90-16 tires. People always are saying I'm crazy for wanting bias ply
My truck rides like iron already, so I'm not too concerned about that part of it. If I had wanted a soft ride, I wouldn't have sold my caddy (though I am still kicking myself for that one).

How do they do in wet weather? Cold/snow?

16 inch rim. 900-16 is the preferred size, equals roughly 34.5x10.50
For some reason I can't find the supplier I had before for those power kings.
I may just get a flotation size tire. I had been avoiding it for the looks and I didn't want the extra width with manual steering. The 10.50's are fun as it is

I had a set of STA bias plies split in between treads on the front two tires ahwile back. That's the only other issue I've had with bias plies.

last truck I had with bias plys was my 67 f-600 around 10 years ago, from what I remember it didn't take more than a mile for them to smooth out. And in the warm weather less than that.
radials have better grip and last longer, but I never had any complaints with any of the cars or trucks I had with bias plys.
IF you took off the radials today and put on the bias, you might notice the diference for a day, but then you wouldn't even know you changed.
PS. let me know if you find a source for the old snow tires, I've been hoping to find a set for winter on my 65.
