- I don't drive the thing in the rain and, all-in-all, the brakes on the early BN1s are pretty crap as it is. Maybe bias ply isn't such a bad idea.... might be fun. I'll keep the fat radials on the BJ

- I just had to comment on your note here re BN1 brakes. I suppose one's impressions about braking ability are relative to what one is used to on today's cars, but when properly set up the Hundred alw

- Brakes are in good operating shape - rebuilt slaves with new uprated pads and fully bled hydraulic system w/ ss teflon brake hoses. Everything is adjusted correctly as well. The problem is BN1s have

- I love this list. I did not know that!! I should qualify my statement. I should say ALL front drummed braked cars have their limitations... not just the BN1. Cheers, Alan '53 BN1 '64 BJ8 -- Bill Lawr

- I'm thinking of replacing the Michelin XZX 165s on my early BN1 with Bias Ply tires (the michelins are very old, I'm sure, although tread is still good). If I go with the dunlop 590s, is the braking

- Hi Alan, I don't think many tires are designed or compounded to give loose directional control & still have excellent braking. I think loose is loose. Even at that, the braking is probably ok with bi

- Had a girlfriend with a V-6 Capri and old hard dry Michelin XZX's, scary in rain or snow. I remember when I ran bias plys on my first car, then replaced them with radials. Huge difference braking and
