Re: [AMC-list] BIAS vs Radial tires on rims/Ford wheels

[Ken Ames <ameskg@xxxxxxxxx>]

It comes down to just which Ford wheels you're going to use - whether they use
the hub to centre the wheel, or have a larger hub hole and use the lug nuts to
centre the wheel. Some may not actually touch the hub at all.
