Any ADvice on what tires to put on my '49 3100?

I had bias ply tires, they were old and had the typical "flat spot" that would
warm up after driving about ten miles.  After painting my wheels, I was
planning on changing to radials this weekend, but a friend advised that the
radials will be much harder to turn at low speeds on "that old truck".  I'd
like to get the handling and ride benefit from radials, but am I going to be
sweating every time I parallel park?

Thanks for whatever wisdom you can offer.
