I'm thinking of putting radial tires on my 39 Hudson. What are the pros and cons? Do I need to change the camber or caster? Any info much appreciated. Thanks, Gene.

    Hello, I put radial whitewall tires from black diamond classics on my 1938 sedan with wonderful results. It's now a nice car to drive. No changes required, but make sure you cross the new size with a 6.00X16 due to the width.

    They really do make a difference. Have them on our '47 and '51. There seems to be general agreement that the toe-in should be set to zero or maybe just 1/16' with the radials. Mine are wearing well with that setting.

    What wheels are you guys putting the radials on?

    I'm planning on using the 15" wheels that came on the car.
