Re: Anyone running bias ply tires?

The tire on my spare wheel above is one I recently purchased from Coker Tire but made by Specialty Tires of America (STA) - US made. STA still lists quite a selection of bias ply tires (one style example below). The STA sales rep I spoke with was helpful. https://www.stausaonline.com/product...t-truck-tires/

If/when the time comes to replace the 16.5” tires on my K20 I was contemplating a set of bias ply. Since it’s stored over winter I’m guessing it’s best to place axles on jack stands to avoid serious flat spots from months remaining stationary? I’ve never driven a passenger car or light truck with bias plys that I recall.
