Just to illustrate the difference in tire pressure between originally supplied bias ply tires and radials, I run both bias plys and radials on my 79 Civic vintage race car. Both sets are the same size and same manufacturer. When set up for even tire temps after full race speed sessions, the radials are best set at 16 psi higher (38 psi) than the bias plys (22 psi). Take home message- go with the recs the guys have here rather than owners manual (unless, of course, you are running OEM type tires).
I run my Kumho Solus radials on my 57 at 32 psi F/R
Have fun!
