Radial-ply tires  have the  same load
carrying capacity, as bias-ply  or bias
belted tires of the same size, and use
the   same  recommended    inflation
pressure.  Mixing  of  radial-ply   tires
with  bias-ply or  bias  belted  tires  is
not   recommended.  Any   combina-
tions of radial-ply and bias-ply or bias
belted tires when  used on the  same
vehicle   will   seriously    deteriorate
vehicle handling. The best rule to fol-

tires should always be used  as a set
for  the front  tires  and a  set  for the
rear tires.

Do not  mix  bias ply  and radial
ply   tires   under   any   circum-
stances.This may cause unusu-

may cause  loss of vehicle  con-
trol resulting in an accident.
