Interests me to see if with those non radial tyres you notice much change.
In theory that are more rigid then radials, so should be more uncomfortable and with a smaller foot print because of less flex, I would also expect them to run cooler.

These are original size and type - bias ply, rather than radial, so no problem. Some people fit radial tyres to NTVs now (all modern bikes are fitted with them), but the problem is finding a radial tyre for the front in the original size (110/80-17). Most front wheels are now wider and 120/70-17 is almost standard for fronts on road bikes. You can get radials in 110/70-17 and they will fit, although most tyre manufactures recommend a wider wheel size (2.75" or 3.0", rather than 2.5" on the NTV). Rear fitment is no problem, but mixing radial/bias-ply is frowned on/illegal, depending on which way round!
