Default mud lite radials or bias?

i was on itp's website b/c i think ive settled on getting the 26 inch mudlites for replacements on my 400, but i couldnt find if they were radial or bias ply, i would prefer radial, but if not, then i was also looking at gbc dirt devils which im pretty sure are radials. but i like the fact the mud lites are lighter b/c i wouldnt lose soo much power going up a size. anyway i heard the mudlites are better than dirt devils. any other opinions ou there?

My Mudlites are 6ply non radial. I love them. I went with alum wheels and went to 27's and they really dont weigh that much more than the heavy steel wheels with the stock tires.

Neither one is a radial, most aftermarket tires aren't.

Radials do have their problems and aren't always desireable. The main thing is, they may flex and put more tread on the ground in some situations but their side walls flex even more and will put you in a pickle in an off-camber situation.

At this point I wouldn't put a radial on my bike. My opinion, ofcourse!
