Radial /crossply tyres mix
Is it possible to run cross ply at the front and radial at the rear?
I have just been given a pair of nearly new cut radial wets that will fit my rears,and I would like to fit on rims as spares. Crossply size 9.2x22x13 Car is single seat hillclimb car 385kgs I undersatnd that radials may require different suspension settings. Lister |

its possable,
but if you only have one pair and wont be getting any more it doesnt seem to me to be worth the grief trying to sort aout different set up to suit the odd pair of tyres, and yes they definatly will require a different suspension set up, i tried using differnt wheel sizes on the same size tyres and found i needed quite different suspension settings and tyre pressures, trying to use two different constructions would seen a non starter to me. |
