Yes the Power Kings are bias plys. I just took the roadster out on a highway cruise yesterday and the tires ride very nice. But they are aired down to 35 psi. They are rated for 60 psi but with no load and a light vehicle, figured the air down would help. One thing I did notice and may try this is to add more air as the bronco feels a little drag while coasting. Maybe need to bump up to 40 or 45 psi. But hey, this is not a daily driver. I am after the old school looking tire. So a little bumpy doesn't bother me either.

As for the orange bronco, she is getting a disc brake conversion right now by my buddy Tom at the BroncoRanch (http://www.thebroncoranch.com/index.html). He is responsible for the restoration and the bronco is still at his place. This was the last thing to do to it before it came back home. Going to keep those steel wheels and this will be more of a daily driver. Calipers must clear otherwise he would have said something. When out there in May, I dove it and the tires did not feel bad either. This one is lifted 2.5" for that Luber look. When I get it home and drive it alot more, Ill make judgement on the tires then.

Here is a link for the Power Kings: http://ssl.delti.com/cgi-bin/rshop....s=Ordern&typ=R-180014&ranzahl=4&nichtweiter=1. Just Google Power Kings and you will find suppliers. They are the AU-35.

You might try Coker. I think they have a few truck tires.
