It has been said here many times not to put radial tires on non radial
wheels/rims. My question is why not? Etrailer doesn't seem to support
that theory.
Thanks

Mike, anyone who owns a GMC and drives it through/to Canada would surely
spend a few dollars at Canadian tire.
We met some really nice people as we toured your country.

Always welcome, young man, always welcome. The odd sail on the Bras d'Or
doesn't seem to hurt the scenery much...

I live 275 miles from the closest spot in Canada (Windsor), but my last set of Micheline tires on my Blazer came from Crappy Tire in Alberta.
Rate of exchange, and refund of the GST at the border was a factor. Also I ran a piece of steel through one and they all needed to be replaced anyway.

I had a '62 Dodge Polara convertible on which I put a set of Michelins. Every time you did a hard corner, the rims would flex and molt hubcaps. I had to get aftermarket wheels.

The old bias ply tires would break traction and scrub off forces and loads
(speed, too) long before there was sufficient loading to flex the wheel
enough to shed hubcaps.
Radials? They stay in contact with road surfaces so much better, that
wheels flexed enough to break around the lugnuts and where the wheel center
was joined to the rim. Manufacturers all went to much more robust wheels
after they figured what was happening. But, I don't know if people drive
GMC's as aggressively as Johnny, and nut cases like me, to ever have that
problem. But, most everything is possible I guess. Be on the safe side. Use
radial rated wheels.

Note, that was a Dodge Polara convertible, not a GMC. I suspect the GMC would do the same, I'd be interested in someone else's results from hard cornering. I rather keep the groceries in the cabinet....
