bias ply tire memories.

An annoying story from the old days

In the early-mid 70's I came across "winter" still had the 70 RR, but the 440-6 was long gone and a 340 swapped in. I "scored" a pair of "sawdust" snow tires but they were bias, and the car had radials. I knew the warnings about mixing/ matching tires, but I figured, I won't be highway driving, about 45 locally is as fast as I'll go. That thing was nearly completely uncontrollable with that tire combo. Felt like the rear was gonna go 90 and slide right into the ditch.
