To some extent, the bias ply tire was the perfect tire for its time. But is there really such a thing as the perfect tire? How about the two- and four-ply polys that came OE on very fast performance cars of the early 1960s? What about the belted tires in the 1960s and early 1970s? Some of those tires were constructed with as many body plies that existed back then, including rayon and fiberglass belts. Was that the perfect tire? No, but it sure seemed like it at the time. Then came the radial tire, which Europe had been touting since 1948. Was it the perfect tire? No, but it sure seemed like it to the Europeans. As radial tire technology found its way into the research and development labs in our country, it was immediately recognized that those were the tires of the future.
