Is there anybody still producing bias ply tires other than the high dollar reproductions?

Hello, I'm still able to find light truck sizes in bias ply ie. 7.50X16, some 19's and 19.5's other than that I don't think you'll find any car bias other than Coker, or other classic tire distributors. My warehouse is one of the largest in the Midwest, no bias car tires! Hope this helps! Jeff

Just looking for regular 15" bias ply car tires without breaking the bank. I have actually given thought to using trailer tires, but don't know what the downside would be.

So we can assume this is on an older car?? classic car? DON'T use trailer tires, the ST (special trailer) type would be unsafe for a car! Different construction sidewall and tread packages. If you gotta have bias, go with a company that builds correct bias ply tires for a car. Jeff
