In 1972, I bought a 1966, VW MicroBus and one of the first changes was to replace all four, cross-bias tires with radials. On the way home, I took a familiar, high-speed turn and nearly rolled it . . . the radials where that much better than the cross-bias tires. Steering had changed from a guessing game to a precise art.
