. My experience with old cars is it’s easier to turn bias ply tires than radials

 

Just don’t have the actors saw the wheel back and forth like they did in the old Tv shows. Good manual boxes don’t do that. Thats only reality if the sector shaft is worn beyond adjustment or you're warming up the tires for a Nascar race. Lol

 

Maybe so on some steering designs. Gm’s in my experience seemed to improve with radials. My ‘65 GTO with manual saginaw steers like butter with 235/60 Radial T/A’s. 389 Tri’s weren't light.
‘72 C10 does great with 31x10.50’s on it. Its even got the manual front disks. Our 65 Ford Galaxie is a bear manual. But Ford had the best p/s back then. You could float the wheel lock to lock with your pinky finger in a heavy loaded pickup with the old heavy 360. They had to tone that easiness down a bit tho it seemed.

 

Floating down the road maybe but sitting still or during slow maneuvers that skinny bias ply just doesn’t bite the pavement like a radials.
