When I ran my AMX S/P car, I tried just about everything but what I really liked about the bias MT's was I could run them until the holes disappeared before the car slowed down, 200 plus runs. Never tried radials, ran 14 x32's as we didn't have any size restrictions. Stiff sidewalls would not work on my car, the car was too light.
