It is likely they are non-existent. From what I can reconstruct, anything lower than 78 aspect ratio was either a radial (belted) or bias belted. (Note: I've seen bias belted tires incorrectly labeled as bias!)

The street calls them 'bias ply', as do I.

@ CapriRacer


Thanks a lot for all this. In general I am rarely looking for only an answer, usually I want this extra info you provided so I understand WHY and HOW as applicable to thew question so I can answer my own future questions now that I have an understanding.


Thanks again, this was very helpful!


Also, Happy 4th to all!

More than welcome! It's why I started posting on the interwebs. And why I made that website.
