Default Bias ply or Radial

personally i will never put radial tires on my fourwheeler i like my bias ply tires and once i went to them i never look back. stiffer sidewalls means less body roll which means i get to drive harder [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Hey Weez...I thought stopping body roll was one of the reasons people switched to radials. I have stock bias ply and they suck. They roll every chance they get... I added more air pressue into them and it helped some but they are still baloon like....Can't wait to get radials to be firmly planted on the ground..maybe its different for sport machines or something?

Radial tires are softer, giving you added traction, which in turn creates more "roll". Bias tires are stiffer, resulting in less rubber to ground, meaning less traction, but less roll
